ASCM will help solve critical public health supply chain challenges, including weak distribution systems and a lack of reliable monitoring and data collection mechanisms. Additionally, we'll assist in the development and implementation of country-specific plans to elevate the maturity of local supply chain communities that directly impact supply chain reliability.

The goal of the grant project is to build self-reliant supply chain talent, increase frontier market supply chain maturity, improve distribution systems, and enable more reliable monitoring and data collection mechanisms. This project will leverage ASCM proven best practices to grow an effective, sustainable supply chain in these frontier markets.

Key outcomes include:

• Improve the knowledge base and association operating models of the supply chain community in frontier markets.
• Establish and continually improve the supply chain maturity model for frontier markets through community engagement.
• Increase last-mile product availability in target market public health facilities.
