The purpose of the USAID | DELIVER PROJECT contract is to design, develop, strengthen and, upon request, operate safe, reliable, and sustainable supply systems that provide a range of affordable, quality essential health commodities including drugs, diagnostics and supplies to clients in country program. The overall objective is increased availability of essential health supplies in public and private services.

USAID | DELIVER PROJECT works at the national level in Rwanda and covers all the 30 districts and their health facilities.

Through SCMS and USAID | DELIVER PROJECT, USAID supports the procurement and distribution of ARVs, test kits, lab supplies, OI drugs, condoms for HIV prevention and contraceptive commodities for HIV positive families. SCMS focuses on ARV procurement and central level support and works with district pharmacies and warehouses. DELIVER supports contraceptive commodities and public sector distribution of condoms.

In FY 2009, USAID | DELIVER PROJECT worked with the GOR on quantification and reporting, supported the integration of contraceptive commodities in HIV and coordinated with other implementing partners to avoid duplication of the health commodity supply chain management activities. The project also collected and analyzed the logistics data for condoms to ensure smooth forecasting and quantification and provided feedback to the districts and health facilities' stock managers

In FY 2010, USAID | DELIVER PROJECT will continue to support the public sector contraceptive and condom distribution program by providing technical assistance as mentioned above. The tasks will include quantification, customs clearance, distribution, LMIS harmonization, district level support and supervision/training in contraceptive logistics. The goal is to ensure condom availability at public sector clinical facilities. To accurately project condom quantification, USAID | DELIVER PROJECT will monitor condom uptake in facilities. USAID | DELIVER PROJECT will also assist the Rwanda MOH with the data collection and reporting from community level and will integrate this information into the site-level reporting.

The target population for the COP activities includes the population of reproductive age for condoms utilization and the people living with HIV/AIDS for condoms and LLINs.

The COP funding is part of the USAID | DELIVER PROJECT Task Order 1 budget and thus contributes to any activities implemented for maternal and child health and community health (quantification, system assessment, logistics management information system harmonization and computerization, data collection and analysis, supervision, training and coordination of partners). The coordination and resource mobilization meetings supported by the project contribute to the commodity security and to the sustainability of the program over time. USAID | DELIVER PROJECT submits reports to the USAID MEMS web based reporting system in Rwanda and to USAID at the central level.
