2. What is AMDS
The AMDS is a network of technical partner organisations that work to support countries in procurement and supply management of HIV commodities. The secretariat of this network is housed in WHO/HIV Department.
The AMDS operates as a clearing house, collecting and disseminating strategic information: Prices, availability and regulatory status of ARVs, technical information of HIV diagnostics and other HIV-related health supplies (

9. GPRM: Limitations
Data from 80 countries and 2492 transactions in 2014 – but only public sector procurement (PEPFAR supported, GFATM supported, + UNICEF, IDA, UNITAID, CHAI, MISSIONPHARMA, WHO CPS)
Time lag: quarterly reporting by data providers and reporting delay from their data suppliers makes delay unavoidable.
Low frequency procurement (<5 transactions), donations (0 price) and transactions of which price is (can)not (be) communicated is not visible.
Bias toward good procurement practices.
Limited public visibility.

10. Summary report Country profile reports
GPRM: How we used it
Summary report Country profile reports
Data provision to other reports
UA report
MIC report
Data on volumes sold / trends to produce annual forecast of future demand (with UNAIDS, SCMS, FUTURES INSTITUTE, CHAI, GFATM) (triangulation with ARV survey)
Publicized it to programme and supply managers:
I+ Solutions, UNDP, EMP staff workshops
AMD newsletter

11. GPRM: Impact
Anecdotal reports that country supply managers are using the GPRM
Procurement partners use it to assess own performance
Use in academic papers

12. GPRM: Imagine you wanted to access the GPRM
- you need to be persistent
- we need to be smarter in our referencing
Imagine you wanted to access the GPRM:
You go to the WHO website
You search for "GPRM" - you find it – it is on the first line in your search, but you have to go down all the way to the bottom of the landing page to access it
You search for "prices of HIV medicines" – you don't find it - you end up on the EMP website where the existence of a 2005 document is publicized and where you find a link to the 2013 edition of "Untangling the web…"
You search for "price of AIDS drugs" – you might find it if you are really persistent
You go to Google – "price of AIDS drugs" – you will not find it in the first 5 screens (but will find the EMP page)
You go to Yahoo - "price of HIV medicines" - you will not find it in the first 5 screens (but will find the EMP page)

13. ARV Drug Regulatory Status Database (DRS)
Screenshot here

14. ARV Drug Regulatory Status Database (DRS)
Uses:
Emergency procurement
Civil society: Accountability of manufacturers
Legal uses: provides prima facie evidence of availability of ARVs
Limitations
Manufacturers derived data
Only PQ's and stringently regulated products – domestic products which don't comply with GFATM quality standards are not included
Limited public visibility

15. ARV Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients Survey Data (API)

16. Expand to other therapeutic areas TB, Malaria Hepatitis
What could be done more?
Expand to other therapeutic areas
TB, Malaria
Hepatitis
Reproductive health
Expand to diagnostics
Better WEB and internet referencing
Link different databases - perhaps also to those external to WHO
Increase reporting on domestic procurement in GPRM or related database
Automate country profile production (and publicize it on WEB?)
Publicize in peer review papers
