Dear Everybody,

ResultsinHealth (RiH) has major responsibilities for PSM oversight activities in over 50 countries, through a collaborative agreement with PricewaterhouseCoopers and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (the 'Global Fund') for LFA services.

Products procured under Global Fund grants include pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, lab materials, medical equipment, and preventive materials such as long-lasting insecticide treated nets and condoms. Our mission is to ensure their rational purchase, distribution and use throughout the health system by assisting implementing partners, governments and donors with reviews and recommendations.

Assessments relate to the full cycle of product selection, quantification of needs, procurement, quality assurance, storage, distribution, inventory management, and their appropriate use. Experts will assess and monitor PSM and LMIS systems, with the aim of ensuring best practice and risk minimization for the Global Fund grants. Activities may involve onsite assessment visits, as well as desk reviews of PSM related planning and monitoring documentation.
