1. LDP Commodity Security: Strengthening leadership capacity of commodity security
teams
The first LDP offered in Haiti was focused on Commodity Security teams and was offered from
December 2008 to June 2009. Nine of the 14 teams successfully completed the program. The
teams came from a variety of organizations including the Ministry of Health and Population,
other public organizations, local NGOs and local Cooperating Agencies. The goal of the LDP
was to improve the leadership and management skills of commodity security teams and
strengthen partnerships among those teams. Seven of the nine teams presented their results
and/or progress achieved to date at the September 2009 results presentation. Three examples of
their progress achieved to date are:
World Concern Haiti: The Measurable Result was ―By September 2009, to provide
2,000 PLWHA in the Delmas region with hygiene kits.‖ Before the LDP they had
provided only 472 kits. Their target was to provide an additional 2,000. By the results
presentation they had provided 1,308 kits.
LMS Haiti: The Measurable Result was to increase receipt of regular monthly reports
from sites receiving family planning commodities. At baseline, the LMS commodities
team was only receiving monthly reports from 27 of the 89 sites in the West department.
The team assessed that this was due to a lack of training on stock management. By
September, 78 of the sites were submitting regular monthly reports. To ensure timely
monthly reporting, the team also undertook training two people from every site in stock
management as one of their activities. By July, LMS had completed trainings in 81 of the
89 sites.
CDS: The Measurable Result was to reduce the number of stock outs for 25 essential
drugs to zero. This team was pleased to report in September that they had no stock outs
within the program, based on a sample of 25 essential drugs.
A six month follow-up will be completed in March to assess the teams’ progress since the
September results presentation.
