The service procurement procedure for the organization of training courses for the staff of the Technical Assistance and Management Unit of the National Tuberculosis Prevention, Surveillance and Control Programme (PNPSCT) has been completed. The contract with the service provider was signed in December 2014 and now the Romanian Angel Appeal Foundation is working to prepare the training sessions.
In the following period, 15 persons from the PNPSCT Technical Assistance and Management Unit will be trained, so that the National Tuberculosis Control Programme may have better capacity for the management of medicine procurement and distribution, but also for fundraising, project management, monitoring, assessment and reporting.
Four training sessions will be organised in relation to the procurement of medicines from the Global Drug Facility of the WHO/StopTB partnership and the distribution chain management, as well as in relation to financial management, monitoring, assessment and reporting. The professionals who will be trained are part of the medical and management staff of the Marius Nasta Institute of Pulmonology in Bucharest.
Both during the training, and throughout the project period, the Romanian Angel Appeal Foundation, who is the owner of the working package on the capacity-building of the PNPSCT Technical Assistance Unit, will provide permanent assistance and operating support for the UTAM staff.
“We would like that the members of the UATM team, through the courses that we will deliver over the following period, consolidate their knowledge and necessary skills in order to be able to continue to attract projects and the funding needed for the strengthening of the National Tuberculosis Control Programme. Our courses are generally seen as interactive and dynamic and we hope that they will also be a useful and pleasant experience for the PNPSCT UATM team.” Silvia Asandi, Director of the RAA Foundation.
