E-DRUG: New Guide and Dashboard Can Help Improve Procurement Performance
------------------------------------------------------------------------
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"
describes suggested key indicators that can be helpful in tracking
various aspects of a procurement system.
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", 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", 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.
