South Sudan signed the New Funding Model 3 (NFM3) HIV/RSSH/TB grant in December 2020. The NFM3 grant covers the implementation period from January 2021 to December 2023. It is important to note that the 2020-2023 GFATM grant cycle prioritizes high impact interventions and activities to address HIV, TB, and Resilient Systems for Sustainable Health (RSSH) issues in South Sudan.
UNDP has been the Principal Recipient (PR) of the Global Fund grants on behalf of the Government of South Sudan since 2004 when the Global Fund's Additional Safeguards Policy was applied limiting the role of national entities to function in this capacity. Since then, working in partnership with the Ministry of Health, UNDP has been managing the Global Fund HIV, TB and RSSH grants. In addition; UNDP has been supporting the Ministry of Health in the management of the warehouse for pharmaceutical commodities, distribution of commodities as well as provision of technical assistance. South Sudan has enormous supply chain issues ranging from proper stock management at the facility level including appropriate storage capacity including temperature control, rational drug use, and inventory management.
Ppharmacovigilance is defined as the ‘science and activities relating to the detection, assessment, understanding and prevention of adverse effects or any other medicine-related problem’. The aim of pharmacovigilance is to bolster patient safety concerning medicine use by providing a system to collect, assess, and distribute drug safety data. Pharmacovigilance activities involve monitoring approved drugs and investigational medicinal products. Post market surveillance and drug efficacy testing ensures availability of quality medicines and reduces non recommended drugs and counterfeits.
The purpose of the assignment is to support the MOH to develop and update South Sudan Pharmacovigilance existing tools in order to improve the protection of health and safety of patients, users and others by reducing the likelihood of reoccurrence of incidents related to the use of medical or other healthcare products
