HPN- KEMSA Medical Commodities Project (Kenya):  USAID is urging increased commitment from the Government of Kenya (GOK) to take on greater responsibility in addressing health issues benefitting Kenyans. In partnership with other development partners, USAID is leading an effort to secure a sliding scale financing agreement with the Ministry of Health (MOH) to realize increased GOK allocations for contraceptive resources, as donor resources decrease. Once the MOH approves this agreement and provides the first tranche of funding to the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA), USAID and other development partners will procure contraceptives based on the national MOH supply plan..KEMSA is a commercial parastatal whose functions include procurement, warehousing, and distribution of medications and medical supplies. Utilizing a Kenyan corporation for the procurement, warehousing, and distribution of medications and medical supplies is a key contribution to Kenya's journey to self-reliance. The project will procure, warehouse, and distribute contraceptives from the central warehouse to over 7,000 public health facilities in all 47 counties. In addition, KEMSA will support procurement, warehousing, and distribution of HIV commodities with funding from President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), as well as the warehousing and distribution of malaria commodities with funding from the President's Malaria Initiative (PMI). Funding will strengthen the GOKs health sector capacity to manage complex supply chain systems. This serves to build a more stable and capable MOH which in turn boosts U.S national security objectives and improves public opinions of the United States in Kenya, as well as asserting U.S. influence and leadership in global health...
