NOTE: The following is taken from summaries released by PEPFAR on the PEPFAR Data Dashboard. They are incomplete summary paragraphs only and do not contain the full mechanism details. When the full narratives are released, we will update the mechanism pages accordingly.

The Supply Chain Management System will procure and distribute essential medicines and health supplies. It will also work to strengthen existing supply chains in the field and facilitate collaboration and the exchange of information among key donors and other health providers. This activity contributes to the GHI Burundi goal which is “Improved Health of the Burundian population”, especially for girls and women.

The SCMS activity is a support service for the provision of HIV/AIDS prevention, care and support services. This activity will cover especially the eight provinces supported by PEPFAR and will procure and distribute the medical supplies in the eight provinces. Additionally, the strengthening of the supply chain will target the national level. The activity’s targets are the general population, pregnant women and their partners, people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV), orphans of AIDS and other vulnerable children, youth, low-income women and key populations.

To be more efficient, the SCMS activity will pool procurements with other countries so that unit prices can be reduced. As already stated above, one of SCM tasks is to strengthen the capacity of the national supply chain, the ultimate goal being to work through the Burundi national supply chain system for more sustainability and country ownership. Given its expertise in laboratory, SCMS will contribute in the improvement of the laboratory system in Burundi.

For the tracking of the progress, custom indicators will be established by the USG team in Bujumbura in collaboration with SCMS.

Mechanism Target Information

Since COP2014, PEPFAR no longer produces narratives for every mechanism it funds. However, PEPFAR has now included performance targets or indicator information for each mechanism based on the Monitoring, Evaluation, and Reporting (MER) system. The MER guidance is available on PEPFAR's website https://www.pepfar.gov/reports/guidance/. Note that COP years 2014-2015 were under a previous version of the MER system and the indicators and definitions may have changed as of the new 2.0 guidance.
