Featured Project: NextGen Efficient Supply Chains Advance Patient Engagement (ESCAPE) Activity

The five-year project builds on MSH’s longstanding partnership with the Government of Cameroon and will focus on strengthening the country’s supply chain and pharmaceutical management system to ensure the consistent availability of high-quality, safe, and effective medicines.

Overview

Management Sciences for Health (MSH) is one of five large organizations designated by USAID as winners of the Global Health Supply Chain NextGen Comprehensive Technical Assistance contract. This indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract award means that MSH and the other organizations will partner with USAID to provide countries with technical assistance on their health supply chain needs for the next 10 years.

Under this contract, MSH and its consortium partners (many based in Africa and Asia and all active in health, development, and/or supply chain work in low- and middle-income countries) can work with countries to develop the capacity of local systems, networks, institutions, and individuals to sustainably manage supply chains and strengthen local pharmaceutical systems. MSH can also advise governments as they shift from providing supply chain and pharmaceutical services themselves to overseeing private-sector innovations and efficiencies.
