The GHSC-PSM project connects technical solutions, experts, and proven commercial processes to promote efficient and cost-effective health supply chains worldwide with operations in Africa, Asia, Central America, and the Caribbean. In Kenya, GHSC-PSM implements a country-specific task order known as AFYA UGAVI that provides comprehensive technical assistance to strengthen Kenya’s supply chains for HIV/AIDS, malaria, family planning, and maternal and child health commodities at both the national and county levels of the health system.
