–>

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an international, independent, medical humanitarian organisation that delivers emergency aid to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics, healthcare exclusion and natural disasters. MSF offers assistance to people based only on need and irrespective of race, religion, gender or political affiliation.

MSF International is the legal entity that binds MSF's 24 sections, 25 associations and other offices together. Registered in Switzerland, MSF International provides coordination, information and support to the MSF Movement, as well as implements international projects and initiatives as requested.

Position Background:

  • In recent years, there has been a significant development in MSF's medical and operational activities that has been sustained by an upsurge in MSF's operational budget and complexity. Every year, approximately half of MSF's budget is spent in procurement (services and goods).
  • In line with the MSF Organizational Supply Strategy's (OSS), the MSF Strategic Procurement Program (MSPP) has been launched in order to intensify collaboration between the different MSF entities and streamline the existing MSF procurement set up, in order to achieve optimal operational efficiency by avoiding duplication, waste and operational complexity.
  • The ultimate goal of the program is to develop and implement a global, common approach to strategic procurement across all entities at international, regional and national level.
  • In this frame, MSF is implementing a Category Management Structure for selected categories of items. A pilot has taken place on 3 selected Direct Categories (categories of items primarily purchased by the ESCs) from February of 2022, and for a duration of 1 year.

The objectives of the pilot were to:

  • Confirm the expected value added of the Category Management Structure
  • Identify any potential negative impact on operational activity
  • Test and improve processes, tools and governance developed in the frame of MSPP.
  • Following the assessment of the Pilot Phase, it has been confirmed that the Category Management model brought value on the 3 selected Pilot Categories. However, some structural Challenges were identified and need to be tackled prior to scaling up the model to other Procurement Categories.

  • Report hierarchically to the MSPP manager
