    Burkina Faso Supply Chain Assessment - Final Report - Final Draft.pdf
    Burkina.pdf
    The "Burkina Faso Supply Chain Assessment" report examines the national supply chain system for health commodities, with the objective of identifying and prioritizing improvement opportunities. It highlights that the supply chain, primarily managed by CAMEG and decentralized regional hubs (DRDs), possesses strengths such as an integrated approach and professional management. However, significant challenges persist, including long lead times from suppliers, high inventory holding levels, and quality control issues, leading to stock-outs and inefficient capital use. The assessment recommends implementing targeted inventory control techniques, improving financial sustainability by addressing receivables and payment delays, enhancing quality assurance measures, and developing an integrated Logistics Management Information System (LMIS). Strategies also focus on reducing lead times and inventory levels to optimize product availability. This diagnostic aims to bolster Burkina Faso's ability to manage health commodities effectively while increasing the system's resilience and sustainability amidst changing donor priorities. The report underscores a collaborative approach among stakeholders to realize these improvements, ensuring alignment with the government’s objectives to enhance national health outcomes.
