ENABLING PUBLIC HEALTH SUPPLY CHAIN TRANSFORMATION THROUGH PRIVATE SECTOR ENGAGEMENT
ARC adopts a collaborative approach with the private sector, donors and implementing partners to align their objectives with governments’ national health goals.

DEMAND FOR PRIVATE SECTOR ENGAGEMENT WITHIN PUBLIC HEALTH SUPPLY CHAIN
It is increasingly clear what demands for private sector engagement are from the public sector and where it can have the most significant impact.
Local office experts who have technical expertise, passion to contribute a percentage of their time and understand the nuances of the local context.
“Solutions”, data, tools, methods which could be shared (benchmarks, performance, costing), training, etc.
Networks, creating introductions to local market vendors/third-party logistics providers, consultants or implementing partners within the supply chain, local office contacts, etc.
Convening and negotiating power with other in-country stakeholders to develop meaningful supply chain partnerships with service providers.
In-country secondments of supply chain transformation lead for 6 to 12+ months.
“Reverse secondments” or learnerships, placing ministry of health staff into private sector work environments for a period to learn directly from the company.
Financial support/contributions to donor investments and alongside technical assistance (private sector funds go a long way to leveraging co-investment from donors).
