SECTION A
STATEMENTOF WORK
01) About the Global Fund
The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (“the Global Fund”) was established
in January 2002 as an innovative financing instrument to complement existing programs to
fight three of the world-s most devastating diseases (AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria), and to
direct those resources to areas of greatest need. The purpose of the Global Fund is to attract,
manage and disburse additional resources through public-private partnerships that make
sustainable and significant contribution to the reduction of infections, illness and death,
thereby mitigating the impact caused by HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria, and
contributing to poverty reduction as part of the Millennium Development Goals.
The Global Fund achieves its objectives by raising funds from donors (governments and
private) which are then provided as grant funds to suitable Principal Recipients (generally
governments, civil society organizations, etc.) for the implementation of activities
(procurement of life-saving drugs, prevention, care and support activities, and other
supporting interventions) to reduce the burden of the three diseases. The Global Fund bases
its work on programs that reflect national ownership and respect country partnership-led
formulation and implementation processes. The Global Fund promotes partnerships among
all relevant players within the country and across all sectors of society. It builds on existing
coordination mechanisms and promotes new and innovative partnerships.

The Global Fund disburses nearly USD 4 billion a year in grants to about 140 countries of
which nearly 50% is invested in health products required to implement selected HIV, TB &
Malaria prevention and treatment interventions.
Building resilient and sustainable systems for health is a pillar of the Global Fund corporate
strategy 2017/2022. The Global Fund recognizes that a well-functioning and responsive
supply-chain is critical to building resilient health system. Implementation of the full range of
program interventions/services is not possible without the uninterrupted availability and
appropriate use of core products. To date, Global Fund investments in supply chain have
focused on supporting the national systems to improve supply chain performance and
outcomes. These efforts have as a result improved product availability and positive treatment
outcomes, supply failure has been prevented and lives have been saved; however
improvements have been tenuous and short lived, and sustainable systems have yet to be built.
One of the major problems is the lack of quality supply chain data and effective performance
monitoring mechanisms which contributes to poor in-country supply-chain visibility.

02) About Haiti (Country, grants and SC/LMIS context)
Haiti shares the island of Hispaniola in the Caribbean with the Dominican Republic. With a
GDP per capita of US$766, it is the poorest country in the Western hemisphere. More than
half (58.5%)of its population of 10.98 million live in poverty. The UNDP Human Development
Index ranks it as the 168th least developed country out of 189 countries and Transparency
International ranks it as 157th out of 180 countries in its Corruption Perception Index. The
country was rated as “high alert” in a Fragile States Index in 2018 due to high levels of
instability, poverty and conflict.
Haiti has a history of natural disasters. In January 2010, more than 220, 000 people lost their
lives, over 100, 000 homes were destroyed and around 1.2 million people were displaced
following a devastating 7.0 magnitude earthquake. The country has a shortage of health care
professionals, low retention rates and gaps in services at all levels of the health care system.
The lack of staff was further exacerbated by the 2010 earthquake, when Haiti lost countless
health care workers and students. Haiti is also politically unstable. After a period of political
turmoil surrounding the presidential elections in 2016, the current president was inaugurated
in February 2017. The current government faces numerous challenges, including maintaining
security and stability in the midst of an economic crisis and a fragile political context. With the
completion of the electoral process, the UN Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) is
transitioning out of the country despite the current political challenges.
The Global Fund finances two grants (TB/HIV and malaria) for a total allocation of 105M USD
in Haiti. Population Services International (PSI), the Principal Recipient for both grants
implemented in country, is an international nonprofit organization based in Washington DC
(USA). PSI implements the grants through its local affiliate, Organisation Haitienne de
Marketing Social pour la Santé (OHMaSS), acting as the lead implementer in the country.
Under the malaria grant (22.3M USD), PSI operates through three governmental entities
(PNCM, DPMMT and DELR, all part of the Ministry of Health) and one national NGO
(FOSREF), financing the provision of malaria services (vector control, detection, treatment
and surveillance) delivered through over 760 health sites throughout the country, as well as
through MOH Community Health Teams.
Under the TB and HIV grant (87.2M USD), PSI operates through six governmental entities
(PNLS, PNLT, PNST, DPMMT, LNSP and DELR) and seven NGOs (GHESKIO, PIH, CDS, WV,
HTW, FOSREF, POZ, ICC) who coordinate activities with 105 health sites providing HIV
services and 275 sites providing TB services in the country.
The country relies heavily on donor support for pharmaceutical products. The Global Fund
and PEPFAR contribute respectively to the 35% and 65% of the total health
