In March 2006, DELIVER conducted a nationally representative survey on the availability of selected health commodities at Ministry of Health (MOH) and nongovernmental organization (NGO) facilities throughout Malawi. The information provided through this survey, along with the results from any previous surveys, will allow the MOH and its partners to monitor the effectiveness and efficiency of the health commodity logistics system and to make adjustments as necessary. The Logistics Indicators Assessment Tool (LIAT), which was tailored in Malawi in 2004, was used again with minor adaptations to address current assessment needs. Comparative analysis was conducted with the results from the 2004 survey and to determine any change in the health commodity logistics system over the last two years.
