Why is procurement and supply chain management important?

• Approximately 45% of grant funds are budgeted for the procurement of drugs and other commodities

• In many countries, the procurement process is a major cause of delays in grant implementation

• Limited PSM capacity and systems in many countries

The procurement process must improve for the Global Fund to achieve its mission

Page 5: Principal Recipient PHPM Assessments

The Global Fund’s approach to PSM

• Principles and minimum standards, not detailed procedures

• Build upon existing systems

• Distinction between health and non-health products

• Expanded definition of Procurement: Pharmaceuticals & other Health Products Management (How health products arrive in a country and what happens to them subsequently)

• Principal Recipient (PR) is responsible for all PSM activities (whether directly implemented or sub-contracted).

Key Document: Guide to The GF’s Policies on PSM

• Outlines all Global Fund’s PSM Policies– Procure quality assured

products – At the lowest price– Adhere to National and

International Laws– Conduct procurement

processes in a transparent and competitive manner.

• Based on the Global Fund Board decisions

• Outlines what PR’s need to do.

PHPM Systems and Capacity

PR procurement systems must adhere to Interagency Guidelines on Good Pharmaceutical Procurement (WHO 1999): Competitive bidding Transparent and accountable practices Appropriate quality assurance mechanism

LFA assesses PR’s capacity for Pharmaceutical and Health Product Management (PHPM): Manage all PHPM activities Subcontract certain PHPM activities Subcontract all PHPM activities to an Agency with acceptable

capacity.

Role of the LFA in relation to Grant PHPM activities

Page 9: Principal Recipient PHPM Assessments

Role of the LFA* in relation to Grant PHPM activities

1. Assess if the PR PHPM systems and capacity are sufficient to successfully implement the approved proposal

2. Review the PSM Plan and provide appropriate recommendations

3. Identify any critical capacity gaps that need to be addressed in the short-and/or long-term.

4. Monitor/review grant implementation and report any issues or potential risks to effective management of pharmaceuticals and health products financed by the grant. * LFA PSM

Good practices and lessons learnt

– PHPM Assessments based on on-site visits or intimate local knowledge most useful

– SMART* recommendations, tied to grant timeline depending on risk, enable effective decision-making for successful grant implementation

– Identifying and flagging problems or potential risks early on helps to engage PR to address them or seek technical assistance where necessary.

(* SMART: S = Specific, M = Measurable, A = Achievable, R = Relevant, T =Time-bound)
