USAID funded the DELIVER project from 2000 through 2006. Implemented by John Snow Inc., the overarching aim of the project was to improve commodity security for health products in the public sector in developing countries. The project worked more with contraceptives than other product categories, but essential drugs, and drugs and diagnostic supplies also received significant attention. Based on needs that USAID had identified, the project carried out work under the following headings: logistics improvement; human capacity development; resource mobilization for commodity security; adopting advances in logistics technology; estimation of USAID’s contraceptive needs; and operating USAID’s contraceptive procurement database.

In India, the USAID | DELIVER PROJECT worked in three states, namely Uttar Pradesh (UP), Uttaranchal, and Jharkhand, in northern India. However, many of the technical assistance activities during this report period were focused on UP and then on Uttaranchal. When the project started working in UP, the largest state in India with 160 million people, contraceptive prevalence rate was barely 19 percent, and the entire public sector contraceptive logistics system was in disarray. Therefore, many of the interventions involved setting up systems, system streamlining, training, and system strengthening in working with local partners, such as the State Innovation in Family Planning Services Agency (SIFPSA) and the Indian Institute of Management, Lucknow. By 2005, the contraceptive prevalence rate in UP had risen to 29 percent.

For some time, Ghana managed and distributed public-sector health commodities through the operation of four vertical supply chains, which were judged by the Ministry of Health (MOH) to be ineffective. In its medium-term strategy, which ended in 2001, the MOH noted the need to improve the efficiency of health commodity supply chains to address the nation’s public health goals. The USAID | DELIVER PROJECT has since then proposed and implemented numerous supply chain improvements (especially in procurement management, storage, and distribution) with the aim of reversing the observation of the Ghanaian health authorities and fulfilling the USAID strategic objective of improved health status.
