PAST PAPERS ZA DARASA LA 7 MPAKA FORM SIX | NECTA AND MOCK EXAMS 1988 - 2019. CLICK HERE!
Background
In the Health Sector HIV and AIDS Strategic Plan IV (HSHSP IV) implementation 2017 – 2022; the Ministry of Health, Community Development, Gender, Elderly and Children (MoHCDGEC) through the National AIDS Control Program (NACP) intensified the collaborative approach in achieving the intended objectives. The Ministry of Health works closely with President’s Office Regional Administration and Local Government (PORALG), Medical Stores Department (MSD), Tanzania Medicines and Medical Devices (TMDA), GPSA, GFATM, PEPFAR, implementing partners and Health Facilities to ensure uninterrupted supply of essential HIV commodities. Furthermore, the quality logistics information at all levels of the system in HIV response is key to attaining the 95, 95, 95 global goals by 2025 (95% PLHIV know their status; 95% of all people diagnosed with HIV enrolled on ART; and 95% of all people 95% of all people receiving ART attained sustainable viral suppression).
Among others, uninterrupted availability of HIV commodities requires quality data for forecasting and supply planning. Improved procurement, efficient distribution to the last mile, record keeping, reporting and ordering; rational use of medicines and laboratory commodities, resource mobilization and sustainability of HIV pharmaceutical and laboratory services.
As the HIV program expands due to increased numbers of clients on Care and Treatment, some challenges including stock outs, stock imbalances, expiry and wastage of HIV commodities are overarching issues that lead to suboptimal utilization of the meagre resources available to the program. In the context of COVID 19, this has obviously affected the supply chains which may affect the gains that have been made so far towards the target of achieving epidemic control. High workload is currently experienced by regional and district logistics staff (laboratory and pharmaceuticals) because of inadequate human resources and inadequate supply chain performance that is attributed to inadequate resource allocation targeting supply chain specific interventions.
Objectives
Provide technical assistance in the development of Health Sector HIV strategic plan V in reference to the previous health sector HIV strategic plan and in alignment with the health sector strategic plan V direction timeline (2021-2026) to ensure continuous availability and appropriate usage of HIV commodities.
Tasks/Activities
Timeframe

Final version of HSHSP V document with well-articulated, clearly defined HIV commodities supply chain strategic objectives.
