HIV/AIDS

AMDS partners and stakeholders meeting 2009

2-3 April 2009

Background

Strengthening procurement and supply management (PSM) of AIDS medicines and diagnostics (AMD) in developing countries requires effective partnership at global, regional and country levels. The AMD Network has been established for this purpose.

AMD partners and stakeholders meet annually to share PSM experiences and to identify PSM priorities on which effective collaboration can be engaged. Since WHO/AMDS and partner organizations had the last AMDS Partners Meetings in December 2007, significant progress has been made in various procurement and supply management (PSM) projects including Global Price Reporting Mechanism, Forecasting of global ARVs consumption, Procurement and Supply Management toolbox, Monitoring and evaluation of ARV procurement and supply management systems, capacity building for strengthening PSM systems, coordinated procurement planning, guidance on effective procurement of laboratory items, etc.

The purpose of the forthcoming AMDS partners and stakeholders meeting is to exchange with each other on progress made and explore areas for further collaboration.

Objectives

  • To take stock of progress and achievements on current PSM projects.
  • To identify during the discussions and agree on future PSM projects for collaboration within the AMD Network.
  • To define timeline and interested partners for the implementation of the identified joint priority PSM projects.
  • To discuss on individual basis, the implementation process of specific joint projects.
