The overall goal is to reduce stock-outs of essential medicines and health supplies in Uganda, and accelerate Uganda's journey to self-reliance by reducing dependence on external support to health supply chain management.

The Strengthening Supply Chain Systems (SSCS) Activity is a 5-year (2020-2025) project funded by USAID to support Uganda's efforts to strengthen its health supply chain to increase availability and access to safe, quality-assured medicines and health supplies in public and private-not-profit health facilities. Accelerating Uganda's journey to self-reliance, the Project will strengthen Uganda's health system to more effectively combat infectious and non-communicable diseases and improve health services and outcomes for all Ugandan families and communities.

The Project is jointly implemented by Management Sciences for Health (MSH) as a leading organization with ACODE and Uganda Healthcare Federation (UHF) as partners. It is envisaged that ACODE and UHF will gradually take on increased technical and management responsibilities as part of a deliberate strategy to promote local ownership and sustainability.
