PROJECTS

Reliable supply of essential commodities can prevent disruption of public health programs in developing countries. PFSCM aims to ensure availability of essential products to programs and to strengthen national and regional supply chains to become sustainable mechanisms for delivering products.

PFSCM has been in operation since 2005. Our groundbreaking work has already created new approaches for supplying commodities to developing countries, helped transform national and regional warehousing and distribution systems and fostered new partnerships to ensure long-term sustainability. We currently support more than 1 million people on treatment through the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR).

PFSCM currently manages two large projects that strive to reduce the worldwide impact of HIV and AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis.

Global rise in fuel costs impacts shipping prices for SCMS clients

Since the beginning of 2011, we have seen an increase of five to ten cents per kilo for air freight (about 20 percent more, depending on the airline, compared to the beginning of 2010) and some smaller increases in fuel surcharges for ocean freight. Anyone procuring large quantities of public health commodities should incorporate higher fuel costs into their planning and budgeting, and plan far enough ahead to allow shipment by sea and road rather than by air.
