National Consultant - Assessment of Provincial Planning, Budgeting, Procurement, and PHC Service Delivery for Vaccines and Nutrition Commodities, Pretoria, South Africa (remote) 12 months Req#594332new

South Africa’s health system relies on provincial governments to allocate budgets and procure essential commodities, including vaccines and nutrition supplies, within a decentralized fiscal framework. While national authorities are responsible for forecasting needs, provincial autonomy in budgeting and procurement decisions can result in misalignment between planned requirements and actual resource allocation. This contributes to variability in commodity availability across provinces, affecting service delivery and outcomes. Given that vaccines and nutrition commodities are critical inputs for Primary Health Care (PHC), disruptions in their availability can undermine continuity of care, equity, and the effectiveness of child health services, ultimately impacting child health outcomes such as immunisation coverage, nutritional status, morbidity, and mortality.
