Expression of Interest For Guinea Evaluation Of The Last-Mile Distribution Pilot Project For Health Products

Expression Of Interest For Guinea Evaluation Of The Last-Mile Distribution Pilot Project For Health Products Description The Guinean Health System Continues To Face Significant Challenges In Providing Access To Essential Health Products, Particularly In Rural And Remote Communities. Despite Ongoing Efforts From The Ministry Of Health And Public Hygiene (Mshp) And The Support Of Various Partners, Frequent Stockouts And Delays In Delivery Persist, Especially At The Peripheral Health Facility Level. Past Strategies To Improve The Supply Chain Have Made Some Progress, But Critical Bottlenecks Remain In The Last-Mile Distribution Stage, Which Is Vital For Efficient Healthcare Delivery. To Address These Persistent Logistical And Organizational Barriers, The World Bank Seeks To Hire Specialized Consultants To Thoroughly Evaluate Last-Mile Distribution In Guinea. This Comprehensive Assessment Will Include Identifying The Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, And Threats (Swot Analysis), As Well As Formulating Actionable Recommendations. The Focus Encompasses A Range Of Essential Health Products, Including Medicines, Maternal And Child Health Supplies, And Inputs For Combating Diseases Such As Malaria, Hiv/Aids, And Tuberculosis. As Part Of A Broader Strategy, The Mshp, In Collaboration With The Swedd Project, Launched A Last-Mile Delivery (Lmd) Pilot Project In Selected Districts (Labé, Kankan, And Faranah Regions) To Test Innovative Delivery Models Aimed At Overcoming Last-Mile Challenges. The PilotS Primary Objective Was To Ensure Reliable And Efficient Delivery Of Essential Goods To Underserved Areas. Following An Initial National Evaluation In January 2025, There Is Now A Need For An Independent External Review To Assess The PilotS Performance, Extract Key Lessons, And Provide Evidence-Based Recommendations For Potential Scale-Up Or Adaptation Of The Lmd Model.
