Stärkung der Resilienz in der Lieferkette für Impfstoffe im Jemen Building resilience in the vaccine supply chain in Yemen Es handelt sich bei dem Vorhaben um ein offenes Programm mit einem umfassenden Ansatz, der ein auf Bedarfsanalysen basierendes Maßnahmenpaket beinhaltet. Darunter fallen Rehabilitierungsmaßnahmen an Einrichtungen der jemenitischen Gesundheitslogistik, die Bereitstellung von Ausstattungen sowie Fortbildungsmaßnahmen. Das Vorhaben ergänzt dabei die bereits laufenden FZ Vorhaben mit UNOPS (Übergangshilfe). Ziel des Vorhabens ist die Unterstützung der Gesundheitslogistik im Jemen, um insbesondere die Verteilung von COVID-19-Impfstoffen landesweit zu ermöglichen. Die Zielgruppe des Vorhabens ist die Bevölkerung des Einzugsgebiets der Einrichtungen, die COVID-19 Impfstoff sowie andere medizinische Produkte von den ausgewählten Lagerhäusern beziehen. Damit adressiert das Vorhaben die spezifischen Engpässe sowie zentralen Hindernisse für die Stabilisierung des Zugangs zu COVID-19 Impfstoffen und anderen medizinischen Produkten für die Bevölkerung. Konkret beinhalten die Maßnahmen die Rehabilitierung und Ausstattung von bis zu 22 Lagerstätten sowie Fortbildungsmaßnahmen für bis zu 300 Mitarbeitende der Lagerstätten und frauengeführte Unternehmen. Die Umsetzung der Rehabilitierungsmaßnahmen erfolgt durch nationale Baufirmen. Diese bekommen die Vorgabe, für ausgewählte einfache Aufgaben ungelernte Arbeitskräfte aus der lokalen Bevölkerung einzusetzen. Für die ausgewählten Lagerstätten werden Ausrüstung, Verbrauchsmaterialien und Möbel beschafft, um Grundfunktionen aufrecht zu erhalten und die Betriebskapazität zu verbessern. Beispiele für Ausrüstungsgegenstände sind IT-Ausrüstung/-Systeme und Ultra-Niedrigtemperatur-Kühlkettensysteme (d.h. Kühlräume, Kühlcontainer). Das Vorhaben umfasst zudem Fortbildungsangebote für das Personal der unterstützten Lagerstätten, darunter Schulungen zum Betrieb der beschafften Ausstattung sowie zur Handhabung und Verwaltung der Impfstoffe. Darüber hinaus sind spezielle Fortbildungsmaßnahmen für frauengeführte Unternehmen vorgesehen. The project is an open program with a comprehensive approach that includes a package of measures based on needs assessments. This includes rehabilitation measures at Yemeni health logistics facilities (storage facilities), the provision of equipment and training measures. The project complements FC projects already underway with UNOPS (Übergangshilfe) (BMZ 2019.1866.3, BMZ 2020.1804.2, BMZ 2021.1808.1). The objective of the project is to support health logistics in Yemen, in particular to enable the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines nationwide. The target group of the project is the population of the catchment area of the facilities that receive COVID-19 vaccine as well as other medical products from the selected warehouses. Thus, the project addresses the specific shortages as well as key barriers to stabilizing access to COVID-19 vaccine and other medical products for the population. Specifically, the activities include the rehabilitation and equipping of up to 22 warehouses, as well as training for up to 300 employees of the warehouses and women-owned businesses. The rehabilitation measures will be implemented by national construction companies selected in a public tendering process in accordance with UNOPS procurement guidelines. These are given the requirement to use unskilled labor from the local population for selected simple tasks. Equipment, supplies, and furniture are procured for the selected storage facilities to maintain basic functions and improve operational capacity. Examples of equipment include IT equipment/systems and ultra-low temperature cold chain systems (i.e., cold rooms, refrigerated containers). The project also includes training opportunities for staff at the supported storage facilities, including training on the operation of the procured equipment as well as vaccine handling and management. In addition, special training is provided for women-owned enterprises to facilitate their participation in tenders in the project.
