Country Approach
Body
The USAID Global Health Supply Chain Program-Procurement and Supply Management (GHSC-PSM) approach in Botswana includes both technical assistance and direct procurements of antiretroviral commodities to ensure critical health commodities reach people living with HIV/AIDS with no stockouts.
Current technical assistance continues the legacy of the predecessor project (USAID Supply Chain Management System) in facilitating procurement capacity with the Ministry of Health (MOH) and furthering new activities dedicated to proliferating warehousing and distribution best practices.
