ARC has supported the National Department of Health to increase the return on investment for this large-scale transformation to develop a Visibility and Analytics Network (VAN) by providing independent expertise and applying best practices from the private sector. The VAN project created a realistic and comprehensive transformation roadmap for the different supply chain projects run by various consultancies and non-governmental organisations funded by multiple donors. ARC also developed and handed over the supply planning model to AMD. ARC developed a supply planning concept demonstrator using a fit-for-purpose online software solution, leveraging expertise from Deloitte Consulting that was made available by funding from Johnson & Johnson. This solution is available to share with countries across Africa to consider as a leading practice on supply planning.

The AMD has multiple projects and interventions that provide solutions and implementation capabilities to the nine provinces. A significant change management effort is required to entrench these projects and ensure sustainability into the future. ARC assisted the National Department of Health to secure funding for a change management team to lead the implementation of a change management strategy.
