SCMS aims to support increased planning
coordination with partners throughout existing
supply chains

Current supply chain challenges can impede
program performance

• Inadequate data for quantification/forecasting of
  needed commodities
• Large, infrequent orders place burdens on local
  infrastructure leading to stockouts or product
  expiration
• Overstretched country storage and delivery routes
  increase risk of theft, counterfeiting and
  spoilage resulting in health risks and product
  loss

Treating more people requires a proportional
increase in drugs and supplies

Transparency and Security Strategies
