Data for Understanding Knowledge Levels and Influencing factors among Implementers of Prime Vendor System:A case of Tanzania MainLand

The United Republic of Tanzania's government has implemented various significant reforms in Health Commodities Supply Chain Management, including the introduction and national rollout of the Prime Vendor System in October 2018. This initiative aimed to address and complement the 40% health commodities supply chain gap observed at the Medical Stores Department (HRSC-2017). Over the five years since its implementation, the Prime Vendor System has shown high acceptability by the Government, implementers, and the beneficiaries of the intervention, it resulted to increased availability of health commodities at health facilities, improved order fulfillment rates, and timely delivery of commodities, it made contributions to Tanzania's public health sector. However, despite the Government's strong commitment to the health sector, administrative reports indicate there is regional disparities of Prime Vendor System performance in bridging the health commodities supply chain gap.
Little has been done on understanding the knowledge level and influencing factors among implementers of Prime Vendor System in addressing the health commodities supply chain challenges.
Therefore, this study aimed to understand the level of knowledge and its influencing factors among implementers regarding the Prime Vendor System Implementation in Tanzania Mainland

坦桑尼亚联合共和国政府在卫生商品供应链管理领域推行了多项重大改革，其中包括2018年10月推出并在全国范围内落地的主要供应商制度（Prime Vendor System）。该举措旨在解决并弥补医疗用品仓储部门（Medical Stores Department）在HRSC-2017报告中观测到的40%卫生商品供应链缺口。自该制度实施以来的五年间，主要供应商制度获得了坦桑尼亚政府、项目执行方以及干预受益方的高度认可；其不仅提升了各级卫生机构的卫生商品可及性，优化了订单履约率，还实现了商品的及时配送，为坦桑尼亚公共卫生事业作出了积极贡献。尽管坦桑尼亚政府对卫生领域抱有坚定的发展决心，但行政报告显示，主要供应商制度在弥补卫生商品供应链缺口方面的绩效存在区域差异。
目前针对主要供应商制度执行方在应对卫生商品供应链挑战过程中的知识水平及其影响因素的研究仍较为不足。
因此，本研究旨在探究坦桑尼亚大陆地区主要供应商制度执行方的知识水平及其相关影响因素。
