A Protocol for Rapid Situational Analysis of the HIV and AIDS Commodity Supply Chain in Seven Target West African Countries

As part of project startup, SIAPS will conduct a situational analysis of seven countries (Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Guinea, Mauritania, Niger, and Togo) to gain an understanding of the current capacity for HIV and AIDS commodities management and supply. The situational analysis will also assess the readiness of the HIV and AIDS commodities information management systems to provide the information necessary for routine monitoring of HIV and AIDS product availability in the region.

The findings from the situational analysis will inform the development of appropriate interventions that will bridge the gaps and serve as a basis for establishing a regional coordination mechanism for HIV/AIDS commodities management.
