SIAPS helps partners and national-level staff members build their capacity to conduct efficient quantification and supply planning. Since multiyear forecasts make it easier to advocate for resources to ensure commodity security, the program helps to set up coordination mechanisms for in-country stakeholders to estimate medium- to long-term needs, while determining funding gaps and procurement costs. Staff members are provided with effective tools such as Quantimed and PipeLine for forecasting and supply planning and given formal training and mentoring.
