Evaluation of the tool for calculating cogistical costs of drug purchasing centers

Support for the evaluation of the logistics costing tool of the African Association for Essential Drug Purchasing (ACAME)

The technical support aims at enabling ACAME to propose a reliable tool allowing harmonized negotiations between the Purchasing Centres and the Global Fund Principal Recipients for the establishment of costs related to logistics services (procurement, customs clearance/transit, storage and distribution) provided for the Global Fund or other partners who finance health products.

Our work consisted of:

Evaluate the calculation model developed on the basis of the experiences of using five purchasing centres in order to :
Validate the assumptions of the calculation model,
Conduct an update of the computer tool,
Complete the user guide,
Produce recommendations for interpreting the results generated by the tool.
Present the tool to the principal recipients of the countries concerned to identify the stumbling blocks concerning the calculation hypotheses, provide answers to them in order to improve the understanding of the data generated by the tool.
