The USAID | DELIVER PROJECT has published three new documents that can help health supply chain program managers understand and track key performance indicators for the procurement process.
The Procurement Performance Indicators Guide*€”Using Procurement Performance Indicators to Strengthen the Procurement Process for Public Health Commodities ( http://j.mp/149ibIp ) describes suggested key indicators that can be helpful in tracking various aspects of a procurement system. The guide provides the following information for each indicator:
*• the formula for calculating the indicator
*• guidance on setting an appropriate target level
*• where to find the data needed to calculate the indicator
*• how to use the results
*• how to illustrate the results.
The guide is intended for procurement managers at ministries of health and central medical stores who are responsible for procuring public health commodities. It is complemented by the Procurement Performance Indicators Dashboard ( http://j.mp/149iNxA ) , a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet that captures performance data and graphically summarizes results for each indicator in a dashboard format.
In addition, a brief entitled, Key Performance Indicators Strengthen Procurement in Latin America ( http://j.mp/149iVgF ), describes the evolution of contraceptive procurement in the Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) region, highlighting how LAC countries monitored and evaluated key data when making performance improvements. By introducing and monitoring key indicators, they were able to smooth the procurement process and improve procurement performance.
