Situation analysis - Challenges
Initial unclear Standard Operating Procedures
There is latent, mutual suspicion between the state and private sector;
All stakeholders are nervous about change;
The initiative assumes that enforcement mechanisms exist across the medicines manufacture, import, procurement and distribution systems, but historically enforcement of regulations is weak;
MeTA assumes that new coalitions can be forged, but civil society fragmentation and the best ways of achieving meaningful multi-stakeholder alliances need to be addressed;
