Documents reveal largest USAID health project in trouble

The largest contract ever awarded by the U.S. Agency for International
Development
(https://www.devex.com/organizations/united-states-agency-for-international-development-usaid-45096)
— a project described as a “cornerstone” of U.S. efforts to end AIDS,
malaria, and maternal and child death — is reporting results that could
put access to lifesaving health commodities at risk.

	The Global Health Supply Chain – Procurement and Supply Management
project is a S9.5 billion effort, implemented by Chemonics International
(https://www.devex.com/organizations/chemonics-international-inc-1492),
that supports the U.S. government’s most important health initiatives,
including the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief
(https://www.devex.com/organizations/u-s-president-s-emergency-plan-for-aids-relief-pepfar-48995),
the President’s Malaria Initiative
(https://www.devex.com/organizations/president-s-malaria-initiative-pmi-52654),
and population and reproductive health programs. The project coordinates a
complex international supply chain of global health commodities to ensure
that items ranging from condoms, to HIV tests and treatments, to high-tech
lab equipment are delivered to warehouses and health clinics at the right
time and in the right quantities, effectively impacting health outcomes for
tens of millions of people in dozens of countries.
