JOB TITLE: Supply Chain Advisor
Democratic Republic of Congo

 

PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE:  The Supply Chain Advisor will support the National Tuberculosis Program (PNLT) in the Democratic Republic of Congo for a period of one year.

PLACE OF PERFORMANCE: Kinshasa, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)

-------------------------------------------------------------------

SCOPE OF WORK

OVERVIEW

The Supply Chain Advisor’s objective is to provide vital technical support and capacity-building to the National Tuberculosis Program (PNLT) and other tuberculosis (TB) stakeholders in the DRC to improve the supply chain for TB drugs and commodities.

The Supply Chain Advisor will work in close collaboration with the PNLT, Global Fund principal recipients (PRs), USAID, and all other partners involved in the TB supply chain to ensure the timely procurement and delivery of essential medications and other commodities used to prevent, diagnose, and treat TB. S/he will also work to put in place Early Warning Systems for blockages in the supply chain.
 
BACKGROUND

The TB supply chain in the DRC is currently managed by the PNLT and funded by a network of donors including the Global Fund, Action Damien, and USAID. The PNLT is in charge of the country’s needs estimation and quantification, storage, and distribution.

The Global Fund, through its principal recipient for TB, Caritas, places orders for TB commodities through the Global Drug Facility (GDF) after the PNLT completes its quantification process. Caritas manages the customs clearance process for these commodities. Caritas is also in charge of domestic shipment of TB commodities from the national to the provincial level. While the PNLT may schedule internal distribution, Caritas is the organization that contracts and pays the transporters of these commodities.

Action Damien also procures TB drugs for the PNLT through its own separate supply chain process, including distribution of the drugs to the provincial level.

USAID tends to address specific gaps in the procurements done by other partners, such as second-line TB drugs, in collaboration with the PNLT. USAID staff members assist in the customs process for these drugs and ensure their delivery to the central PNLT store.

One significant TB supply chain challenge is the lack of coordination among the major donors involved in procurement of TB drugs and commodities, which each fund the TB supply chain through their own separate procurement and delivery mechanisms. Thislack of coordination results in frequent stock outs and overstocking of drugs.Other problems include insufficient follow-up of orders once they are submitted; delays in collecting shipments from customs offices once they arrive in-country; poor stock management at both the national and provincial levels; delays in domestic distribution of commodities; and the lack of tracking tools to monitor how long it takes shipments to reach their final destinations.
