The New Republic Visits Mozambique
Last week's New Republic has a story I wrote on USAID's supply chain management system under President Bush's global AIDS plan. The massive contract, which could be awarded soon, would go for purchase, shipment and delivery of AIDS drugs and other supplies. The size of the contract attracted some strange bidding partnerships, including several defense contractors. The system itself threatens to undermine or duplicate existing local and international efforts and would use an FDA drug-approval system that some African nations reject.
