A Stakeholder-Driven Framework for Strengthening Private Sector Involvement in Public Health Supply Chain Governance

Abstract

Public health supply chains in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa, continue to experience systemic inefficiencies, including chronic stockouts, poor data visibility, and weak accountability mechanisms. Despite growing recognition of the potential value of private sector participation in improving supply chain resilience, structured governance frameworks that systematically integrate private actors remain underdeveloped. This study proposes a stakeholder-driven conceptual framework for optimizing private sector engagement in public health supply chain governance. Drawing on stakeholder theory, institutional governance models, and empirical data collected from multisectoral interviews, this framework emphasizes collaborative governance, data transparency, performance-based contracting, and accountability mechanisms. By leveraging both qualitative and quantitative methods, the research identifies critical factors that enable or hinder private sector involvement and tests a model designed to align incentives across stakeholders. The findings suggest that a participatory, trust-based governance structure can significantly enhance the efficiency and responsiveness of supply chain systems. The proposed model has implications for policy, strategy development, and the institutionalization of public-private partnerships in health logistics.

      abstract = {Public health supply chains in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa, continue to experience systemic inefficiencies, including chronic stockouts, poor data visibility, and weak accountability mechanisms. Despite growing recognition of the potential value of private sector participation in improving supply chain resilience, structured governance frameworks that systematically integrate private actors remain underdeveloped. This study proposes a stakeholder-driven conceptual framework for optimizing private sector engagement in public health supply chain governance. Drawing on stakeholder theory, institutional governance models, and empirical data collected from multisectoral interviews, this framework emphasizes collaborative governance, data transparency, performance-based contracting, and accountability mechanisms. By leveraging both qualitative and quantitative methods, the research identifies critical factors that enable or hinder private sector involvement and tests a model designed to align incentives across stakeholders. The findings suggest that a participatory, trust-based governance structure can significantly enhance the efficiency and responsiveness of supply chain systems. The proposed model has implications for policy, strategy development, and the institutionalization of public-private partnerships in health logistics.},
