West Africa: Improving Access to SMC Medicine Across the Sahel

[Malaria Consortium] Accurate estimation of the quantity of SP+AQ, currently the recommended SMC medicine, is one of the critical supply chain management functions needed to ensure that all eligible children receive this lifesaving treatment. Inaccurate estimation can lead to widespread shortages, surpluses and expiries, inequity, distortion of demand and irrational use - all of which can impede the cost-effective and successful implementation of an SMC campaign.
