The overall goal of the USAID Global Health Supply Chain - Procurement and Supply Management (GHSC-PSM) project is to ensure the uninterrupted supply of health products in support of U.S. government-funded public health initiatives around the world. The project provides direct procurement and supply chain management support to the U.S. President's Malaria Initiative (PMI), the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), USAID's Family Planning and Reproductive Health Program, and the Bureau of Maternal and Child Health and Nutrition. To support USAID's global health initiatives, GHSC-PSM provides a wide range of health commodity procurement services and technical assistance for systems strengthening, which target all elements of the supply chain.
At the national level, GHSC-PSM supports national strategies and priorities that fall under the following three objectives:
• Procurement of health products and logistics
br> • Global collaboration to improve the long-term availability of health products
In Burkina Faso, GHSC-PSM provides technical assistance to and works closely with several entities of the Ministry of Health, associations and non-governmental organizations, social marketing programmes, and at the community level. Improving access to malaria, HIV, maternal, newborn and child care, and family planning commodities is critical by strengthening the supply chain to meet the country's needs.
Beginning in fiscal year 2023, USAID is procuring family planning commodities through GHSC-PSM for distribution directly to nongovernmental health facilities and community health workers in areas where USAID-funded implementing partners are providing support. GHSC-PSM will work with ABBEF for the storage and distribution of these products.
