Job Title: Data Reviewer

Description

It is important to demonstrate accountability in the management of all SPAQ used during the 2024 round of SMC implementation.
Each blister of SPAQ provides the opportunity to prevent malaria and safe the life of a child. A good commodity management system should therefore minimise losses/wastages and ensure an uninterrupted availability of SPAQ to ensure maximum number of children are reached to prevent them from coming down with malaria.
Also, commodities should also not filter into the private sectors to be sold. In 2024 SMC campaign, management of SPAQ was done through the state supply chain system and handled by Government staff with support from a supply chain officer from Malaria Consortium.
There is need to audit the commodity management to ascertain that the commodities were managed well. The audit is also necessary to determine the strengths and weaknesses of the supply chain system for the purpose of providing feedback for subsequent interventions.
It is also the responsibility of Malaria Consortium to demonstrate judicious use and accountability for the commodities. These auditors are expected to provide objective and professional opinion on level of accountability demonstrated in the management of SPAQ during 2024 SMC intervention
