USAID has awarded the DAI team a place on the Comprehensive Technical Assistance for Health Supply Chain and Pharmaceutical Management (Comprehensive TA) IDIQ. This multi-award IDIQ is part of the Next Generation Global Health Supply Chain Suite of Programs in the Bureau for Global Health.  

The purpose of Comprehensive TA is to strengthen systems and provide operational support to ensure sustainable access to and appropriate use of safe, effective, quality-assured, affordable health commodities. Comprehensive TA will work (1) to develop the capacity of local systems, institutions, and individuals to sustainably manage supply chains, for both USAID-procured health commodities and those procured through other donor and national/local systems, and (2) to strengthen local pharmaceutical management systems, including quality pharmaceutical services and national regulatory systems. 

EnCompass will provide technical assistance in monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) and in gender and social inclusion mainstreaming activities for supply chain management. In addition to EnCompass, the DAI consortium includes ClickMedix, Crowley Government Services, Dalberg Consulting U.S., Freight in Time, Medication Outcomes Center, School of Pharmacy and the Institute of Global Health Sciences, University of California San Francisco, Axia Institute at Michigan State University, Pamela Steele Associates, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill – Carolina Population Center, and VillageReach.
