SHORT TERM CONSULTANT FOR SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT OF MEDICINES FOR NEGLECTED
TROPICAL DISEASE(NTD) STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES & GUIDELINES

The WHO/ESPEN programme, in collaboration with the NTD Supply Chain Forum
partners has developed a set of generic best practice NTD supply chain
management standard operating procedures (SOPs) for donated PC-NTD medicines.
These SOPs cover the entire spectrum of NTD supply chain processes, from the
Joint Application Package (JAP) submission to waste management in country.
ESPEN is encouraging countries to review these best practice SOPs with a view
to adapting them for use within their country contexts.

Currently, in Zambia there are no SOPs for NTD medicines. Therefore, reviewing
and adapting WHO’s NTDs supply chain SOPs is significant for the National NTD
Programme in that they will provide necessary guidance on SCM activities such
as quantification/estimation, storage practices, distribution, mass drug
distribution and reverse logistics. The SoPs when correctly applied will help
to ensure that there is constant supply of standard NTD commodities (including
donated PC-NTD medicines) coupled with timely distribution and an effective
inventory management system.

Having these SOPs in place will eventually lead to continuous availability of
quality NTDs supplies and minimum wastage of these supplies.

This assignment will render technical assistance (TA) to the Ministry of
Health to review, adapt and contextualize draft NTD supply chain management
standard operating procedures (SOPs) developed by WHO/ESPEN and the NTD supply
chain forum partners. The SOPs will focus on Preventive Chemotherapy Treatment
(PCT) donated medicines.

Under the overall guidance and management of NTD program manager and Supply
Chain Technical Advisors, the consultant will work with MOH-NTD team to follow
up on the review process of the SOPs in accordance with the RACI Matrix. The
review will be followed by a validation and dissemination workshop for
national, provincial and selected district level NTD stakeholders on the SOPs
and development of training materials for use pre-Mass Drug
administration(MDAs) to train front line health workers (FLHW) and community
drug distributors (CDDs).

The key deliverable under this Consultancy will be Supply Chain Management
(SCM) SOPs, guidelines and training materials, workshop presentations and Job
Aids with other MDA reference resources

Closing Date for Submission of Expression of Interest is 31st August 2020
