[e-drug] PSM Toolbox website update

Dear e-druggers,

The Procurement & Supply Management (PSM) Toolbox website (www.psmtoolbox.org) has been updated. Since the website went live in December 2007 27 new tools have been added making the total 116 English tools.

A separate toolbox was recently developed in French. Click on "Français" on the homepage to enter the French website. This toolbox contains 27 tools as a start. We are always looking for new tools to include especially for the French section. Please contact Clarisse Morris at IDA Solutions (cmorris@idasolutions.org) or Dr. Vincent Habiyambere at WHO/AMDS (habiyamberev@who.int) if you would like us to add a certain PSM tool for HIV/AIDS to the database.

The tool categories are:

1. Policy
2. Selection
3. Quantification
4. Procurement
5. Inventory Management
6. Use
7. Monitoring & Evaluation
8. Pricing
9. Capacity Building

The website now also contains demo videos, which illustrate how to use the different features of the website (http://www.psmtoolbox.org/demos.php).

If you have comments or questions about the PSM Toolbox or if you would like to receive the 2nd version of the PSM Toolbox CD-ROM, please send an e-mail to cmorris@idasolutions.org.

Best regards,

Clarisse Morris, MSc
