The Pledge Guarantee for Health (PGH):

A New Platform to Improve Efficiency and Impact of Donor Financing for Health Commodities

The Need: Quickly, consistently and cost-effectively delivery health commodities

The Opportunity: The Pledge Guarantee for Health – what it is, and how it works Example PGH deals Q&A

The Pledge Guarantee for Health (PGH)

The PGH is a financial product that enables grant recipients to access short-term credit for health commodity procurement

PGH enables health commodities to reach recipients more quickly, consistently and cost-effectively

Several principles guide the design and use of the PGH:

– Increase efficiency of existing resources for health commodities – Leverage existing financing mechanisms and institutions – Enhance country ownership of procurement and local capacity building – Promote aid transparency •

Opportunity for leaders to demonstrate innovation, action and impact --

PGH creates win-win for country grant recipients, funders, and an opportunity for bank partners to catalyze a market

Complex systems for commodity financing, procurement and distribution

Country owned procurement approaches are recognized as critical to long term sustainability

As a result [of weak systems], externally funded programmes often institute their own purchasing and distributions systems; while these provide an immediate solution specific to the programme, they cause major difficulties in standardisation and management for the system as a whole, as well as ignoring the long-term issue of reform.

In many cases they do not address the underlying capacities constraints on ministries’ and private sector’s ability to forecast, plan, manage and distribute within the context of a national system for drugs and supplies.

Benefits of PGH Cost savings by addressing premiums on commodity purchase Estimated premiums

Emergency shipment

26%

10% Expedited production 5% Potential additional premium for uncertain payment timing Uncertain payment timing 6% 5%

Optimize supply chain and procurement

• • • • Avoid stockout and effect on distribution and inventory downstream Avoid overstocking and its cost implications on storage Reduce wastage/leakage and expiry of essential health products Optimize drugs’ shelf life Source: Studies commissioned by Gates (July 2006) and Dalberg analysis. Excludes premium on sub-scale orders
