Job Title: Consultant - Development of five (5) Year National PSM Strategic and Operational Plan

Job ID: 13-10853
Location: Nigeria-Abuja
Group/Office: PDG (Program Delivery Group)
Dept/Unit: PDGGEN - Program Delivery Group
Project/Program: A607 - Nigeria Global Fund RSSH
Reports To: Director Lab
Grade: Consultant
Slot: 2 Openings

Overview
  • The Nigeria national supply chain and pharmaceutical logistics management faces numerous challenges as a result of weak human resources capacity, poor funding, coordination, inadequate data availability to inform robust quantification and procurement process, infrastructural and parallel systems and implementers, infrastructural decay, dry pipeline and frequent wastages due to expiries and damages. In response to this, the Federal Government established the National Product Supply Chain Management Program (NPSCMP) in the department of Food and Drugs Services in 2012 whose key mandate includes collaborating with all programs and projects within and outside Federal Ministry of Health to ensure effective management of supply chain systems and championing efficient supply chain system.
  • As an offshoot of this, a project arm, Nigeria Supply Chain Integration Project (NSCIP) was established in 2015 to implement these objectives. The project has recorded successes in streamlining structures, policies, roles, stakeholder mapping, coordination instruments at the three levels, means of transmitting capacities and other support from the FMoH level down to the LGAs, etc. But there are still challenges as well as opportunities. The positively disruptive entry into the national supply chain space by BMGF has opened a flood of new learnings from the private sector to enhance the efficiency of the Public sector supply chain. This is timely as the country contemplates the integration of the programme medicines and Essential Medicines management that runs on private sector business models.
  • The main concerns currently include but not limited to the following:
    • Poor commitment to prevent the wastages of “free” Donor Products, promote operational efficiency, cost sensitivity and efficient assets management – like in the commercial sector
    • Focus on the 6 highly funded public health disease/health management areas (TB, HIV, Vaccine, etc.)– as these do not address the overall health of the Nigerian patient as provided for by UHC
    • The reduced focus on building financially self-sustaining systems (i.e. neglecting entrepreneurial practices) as if Donor support will continue to cater for all needs for ever.
    • Traditional Feedback and support (the bedrock of system strengthening) weakened due to upward reporting
    • Partners without the requisite authority to supervise engaged for service delivery points
    • The need to harness the Strengths of Private & Public sector supply chains
    • The imperative to harmonize roles among the three levels of government, in accordance with their respective core competencies - so that the patient Nigerian receives one stream of service
    • The imperative to bridge the OUTPUT-OUTCOME gap through improved activity governance & increased awareness/control of VULNERABILITIES
  • As a result of these rapid changes, there is a need construct an all embracing strategic framework for the Nigeria’s public health targeting effective support for Universal
  • Global Fund grants under Resilient and Sustainable Systems for Health (RSSH) aims at building self -sustaining systems that integrate community responses to end HIV, TB and Malaria of which Nigeria assumed a disproportionate burden of the diseases.
