2. INTRODUCTION

The Three Diseases Fund has ended mid-2013 and its donors committed to continued support
for health needs in Myanmar through a second phase (2012- 2016) of funding, the Three
Millennium Development Goal Fund (3MDG fund). The fund expands its scope beyond the
three diseases to cover maternal, newborn and child care and long term sustainability. The three
main components of the 3MDG fund are:

COMPONENT 1: Maternal, newborn and child care (MNCH). Increased availability and accessibility
of essential services.

COMPONENT 2: HIV, TB and Malaria (ATM). Support for specific interventions for populations and
areas not supported by the Global Fund

COMPONENT 3: Health systems strengthening (HSS)

THIS SOP IS SPECIFICALLY RELATED TO ACTIVITIES UNDER 3MDG COMPONENT 1: MATERNAL, NEWBORN
AND CHILD HEALTHCARE (MNCH) AND COMPONENT 2:

The detailed programme description is outlined in 3MDG fund Description of Action. UNOPS has
been selected as the Fund Manager (FM) for the 3MDG Fund Board. All grant recipients, the
Fund’s Partners, are responsible for ensuring that procurement with funding from the 3MDG
Fund is undertaken according to the Fund’s policies and principles.

The 3MDG has different modalities for supplying its Partners. One modality is through the pre-
positioning of stocks in-country for immediate release of supplies when requested, this allows of
uninterruptable supply of commodities. This modality is only used for two specific areas:

Under MNCH component the supply of commodities to voluntary health workers; Axillary
Midwifes (AMW) and Community Health Workers (CHW).

Under the ATM component for the Malaria Artemisinin Resistance Containment (MARC) project
the malaria commodities.

This prepositioning of supplies is only feasible when the range of commodities to be pre-
positioned is limited which is the case for the above to indicated areas. If the range is too wide
or the quantities of required supplies are too low; pre-positioning brings a high risks with
perishable commodities and should be avoided.

Therefore for the remainder of the activities, tuberculosis and HIV, another modality is used
which is basically procurement on demand. In this case no stocks are pre-positioned but
procurement actions are initiated when requisitions are submitted to the Fund Manager. Of
course this process will require substantially more time before the supplies will be available in

3. WAREHOUSE DISTRIBUTIONS

The procedure for requesting supplies from the warehouse is no different as requesting
commodities which have to be purchased. Partners are to use the Standard Drugs List to
provide their requisition to the Fund Manager.

The Fund Manager has pre-positioned supplies for AMW and CHW, besides a specific range of
malaria related commodities. Forecasting requirements for new projects is complicated and
usually turn out to be inaccurate. The Fund Manager has pre-positioned supplies based on an
estimated consumption of 6 months based on population figures under the currently contracted
Partners. When new Partners will be contracted the stock levels will be increased. The Fund
Manager decided to only pre-position 6 months’ worth of estimated consumption to reduce the
changes of stocks expiring before they can be utilised. In the future when there will be more
reliable data available with regards to actual consumption rates, the stocks levels will be
adjusted to more realistic levels.

For a graphical overview of the process for issuing commodities from 3MDG warehouses, please

The Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) includes a procurement plan for the contract duration.
This plan will not automatically be activated; the partner will have to submit a requisition to
the FM to purchase the items included the procurement plan. If the requisition differs
substantially from the procurement plan, Partners are expected to obtain approval from the
Program Team in the 3MDG prior to issuing the requisition. A substantial difference is for
example changing commodities for other commodities; a small change would constitute revised
quantities of any item compared to the procurement plan. Partners may submit requisitions at
any time, but to prevent inefficient operations some limitations are necessary:

Only one requisition can be submitted every nine months, to avoid multiple small orders which
could otherwise be combined into one larger purchase order;

Requisitions should include all requirements for a period of 1 year;

Requisitions requiring purchase activities (hence concerning commodities which are not pre-
positioned) have to be submitted at least 12 months prior to the end of a Memorandum of
Agreement, to prevent stock arriving towards the end of contracts.
Requested commodities are handed over to Partners through several modalities:

Commodities purchased “on demand” by the FM will have to be cleared through customs by the
Partners themselves. There are some exceptions for example if the arriving consignment
contains supplies for more than one Partner, in that case the FM will clear the consignment.

Pre-positioned stocks, for Malaria and MNCH will be issued from the 3MDG warehouses. Hence
Partners are expected to pick up their ordered commodities from the two warehouses operated
by the 3MDG.

The Fund Manager will register all requisitions from the Partners in the Requisitions System
which tracks Requisitions versus Distributions. This way the Fund Manager can track whether all
Requisitions have been fulfilled or not. This will also allow for proper and accurate quantification
of requirements in the future.

This phase contains 3 steps:

Step 1 : Checking stocks levels versus Requisition;

Step 2 : Partner acknowledges expenditure;

Step 3 : Creation of Issue Voucher and Waybill;

Step 4 : Updating the Financial Utilisation Report.

Step 1 : CHECKING STOCKS LEVELS VERSUS REQUISITION;

When Partners request commodities from the Fund Manager they should base the requisitions
on one year consumption. This does not however mean that Partners will receive immediately 1
year worth of consumption as there is only 6 months ‘worth of consumption in-country
available. During the initial phase, the Fund Manager will provide only 3 to 4 months’ worth of
commodities and monitor the consumption rates of the Partners and when the needed stocks
will be replenished in the warehouse. When and if found that supplies are consumed faster or
lower as expected the prepositioned stocks levels will be adjusted accordingly. With the
requisition having been made for a period of one year the Fund Manager can see outstanding
requirements and therefore will be better able to ensure uninterruptable supply to all Partners.

The Fund Manager will track all requirements and ensure all requirements as listed in the
Requisition will in due time be distributed to the Partner. If Partners are running low on stock
level of certain items, they should contact the Fund Manager immediately.

The Fund Manager operates two warehouses, one for temperature/light-sensitive commodities
such as pharmaceuticals and diagnostic test kits. A second warehouse is used for the storage of
bulk items which do not require environmental conditioning. Unless the FM transports the
consignment to the field site of the Partner, the consignment will be made available at one or
both warehouses for the Partner. After repacking of the commodities Partners will be informed
whether they can pick up their consignment from one or both warehouses. Issue vouchers and
Waybills will be provided by the Fund Manager which allows Partners to pick up their
commodities.
