DSOEtude sur le modèle de Distribution des DSO The 2004 Multi-Country Study for faith-based drug supply organizations (DSOs) conducted by EPN in collaboration with WHO showed that DSOs customers were generally pleased with the services provided. However one area that needed to be improved on was in drug distribution and delivery. To improve on this situation, the EPN secretariat commissioned a study to be conducted in ten DSOs in Cameroon, DRC, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia. This study was done in order to identify ways for the DSOs to improve their distribution services. A feedback meeting to discuss the findings and recommendations in this report will take place from 13th – 17th August 2007 in Lagos, Nigeria.

Drug Supply Organizations (DSOs) develop Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) toolAs part of implementing the action plan developed in the feedback meeting at the conclusion of the EPN/WHO DSO study, a workshop to develop Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) tools for DSOs was held in Kampala, Uganda from 17th - 19th July 2006. Participants at the activity were representatives from DSOs and Christian Health Associations (CHAs) involved in drug management from Ghana, Nigeria, Cameroon, Uganda, Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi and Zambia. By learning how to design survey questions, the participants developed a Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) tool which is being piloted tested in Zambia, Ghana and Tanzania. To develop the tool, the participants were placed into three working groups, with each group required to evaluate the questions in particular sections of the questionnaire for the DSO.

Caractéristiques d’une ODM fonctionnel The DSO feedback workshop group was asked to identify those characteristics of a functioning DSO that could be measured and thus lead to indicators of change. These 14 characteristics were ranked according to investment and measurement priority. The self-assessment tool referred to in the table below is currently being discussed. The combined results of all the self-assessment reports will feed into ‘measurements of change’ against the baseline taken from the 2004 WHO/EPN DSO report, which is likely to require a broader tool.
