Technical Assistance (TA) for Supply Chain Management

Ref: MOH&SW/EOI/ 010/2011/2012

In August 2010, a supply chain master plan was developed for the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare (MoHSW), Republic of Liberia. The master plan is a strategy that improves supply chain performance and meets the MoHSW decentralization objectives, through the placement of planning and budgetary control with county health teams. Central to the master plan is the setup of a Supply Chain Management Unit (SCMU) to coordinate and oversee all supply chain activities within the public health sector in Liberia. Following the establishment of the SCMU, technical assistance is required to build the skills and capacity of the SCMU to enable it play its roles and functions. As these roles are required from the inception of implementation of the master plan and as there is an inadequate level of local skills and capacity, the supply chain management technical assistance approach is sought through a comprehensive mentorship program and hands-on support.
