1.1 Ethiopian Health care system
• Pluralistic: traditional and modern
– WHO estimate: TM 70 - 80%
• The evaluation of modern health services could be divided into
five periods.
– Laying the Ground for Modern Medicine, Up to 1936
– The Italian interlude (1936-41)
– The hospital/clinic based (reconstruction) period (1941-
1953)
– The Basic Health Service period (1953-1974)
– The Primary Health Care period (1974-1991)
– The Sector Wide approach period (1991-2015) /HSDP
period.
– The Health sector transformation (1916-2020)
17/12/2022
1.2.1 Modern Medicine in Ethiopia
• Introduced in 16th century in fragmented way: Emperor
Libenedengel
• Further progress in the introduction and development- reign of
Emperor Menilek (1889 – 1913)
• The first Government sponsored health facilities were established in
Harar by Ras Mekonnen and Menelik II Hospital in Addis Ababa in
1909
• The Government formally assumed responsibility for the provision
of health services with the establishment of the Health Department
within the Ministry Interior in 1908.
• Since then The Health Care System has been in constant change
with socioeconomic and political changes.
• 1935- health manpower training started by enrolling students for
auxiliary medical training
• Italian invasion – interrupt the activity
17/12/2022
• Modern medical care model (MMC) (The
Reconstruction phase (1941-1953)
– Earlier period of introduction of health services
• Urban centered and Hospital based
• Services were inaccessible to majority of rural population due to
– geographical, economical and cultural barrier
• It was mechanistic approach and not holistic
– The health service coverage was estimated to be 25%.
– Little attention was given to preventive health care in spite
of the establishment of the Ministry of Public Health in
1947.
17/12/2022
Approach of Health care services
• Basic Health Service Approach (BHSA) (1953-1974)
• In 1952, the government officially proclaimed the basic health care policy.
– Dominant theme in 50’s and 60’s
– Criticism against mechanistic approach
– Success stories utilizing large number of medical auxiliaries in China to
provide service nearer to large population
– Reframed and shifted utilization of medical auxiliary from medical facility to
health center and health institution
– Principle ” taking services where people live” through home visits, outreaches,
prison heath serves by medical auxiliaries
17/12/2022
Approach of Health…..…….cont’d
• The era of BHSA in Ethiopia
– One of the success stories registered in health sector development
• The organization and development of health services at that time can be
considered as four tiered system:
– Health station (with health assistant at grass root level)
– Health center at Awraja level (health center team)
– Regional referral Hospital (Tekelaygizat level)
– Central referral hospital
17/12/2022
Approach of Health…..…….cont’d
• Problem with BHSA
– Constrained with respect to facility and manpower
– Socio-cultural factor prevent population from using available sources
– No mechanism for community participation that can ensure
sustainability and culturally acceptable care
• Primary health care (PHC) approach (1974-1991)
– WHO and UNICEF re-examined their practice and this led to Alma-Ata
declaration in 1978
17/12/2022
Approach of Health…..…….cont’d
• Primary Health Care defined as
– Essential health care based on practical, scientifically
sound and socially acceptable methods and technology
made universally accessible to individuals and families in
the community through their full participation and at a cost
that the community and the country can afford to maintain
at every stage of their development in the spirit of self-
reliance and self-determination”
17/12/2022
Approach of Health…..…….cont’d
• The five principles usually associated with the PHC strategy are:
• Universal accessibility and coverage
– Essential health services to all people
• Community and individual involvement and self reliance
– Individuals and communities have the right and responsibility to
be active partners in making decisions about their health care
and the health of their communities.
17/12/2022
Approach of Health…..…….cont’d
• Appropriate technology and cost effectiveness
– This includes methods of care, service delivery, procedures and
equipment that are socially acceptable and affordable.
• Intersectoral action for health
– Commitment from all sectors (government, community and
health)
• Health promotion
– Through the provision of affordable health services and
community health education.
17/12/2022
Approach of Health…..…….cont’d
• Component/element of PHC
– Immunization
– Food supply and proper nutrition

– Dental health
– Traditional medicine
– Control of HIV/AIDS and STIs
– Occupational health
– As a member of WHO, Ethiopia signed the Almata charter
– WHO internationally evaluated PHC strategy (1984 – 1985)
17/12/2022
Approach of Health…..…….cont’d
• Problems observed:
– Very limited intersectoral collaboration
– Lack of community involvement due to lack of remuneration of
trained CHWs; 85% were found to be non functional
• Achievement:
– Expansion of health services
– Control of iodine deficiency disorder
– Training in health education
17/12/2022
The HSDP period (1993-2015)
• The transitional government issued a Health Policy in 1993.
• The policy emphasizes equitable access of all people to
decentralized preventive and promotive health oriented integrated
PHC.
• To achieve the objectives of the policy, the government identified
and have been implementing the following strategies:
17/12/2022
Strategies
• Strengthening preventive and promotive health services
• Sustaining the existing essential curative services and encouraging
rehabilitative services within the family and the private sectors
• Provision of basic drugs at all health care units and encourage
private sector participation in the procurement, distribution and
production of drugs and medical supplies
• Revitalizing the health information, documentation and
processing system
17/12/2022
• Decentralizing and democratizing the management of the health
care delivery system
• Human resources development emphasizing front-line and mid-level
health workers
• Affordable and realistic research and development focusing on
priority health problems and
• Creating an enabling environment for community and private
participation in health care financing as well as for efficient and
effective utilization of the available limited resources.
17/12/2022
Health Sector Development Program I (HSDP I) (1997/98–
2001/02)
• Prioritized disease prevention and decentralizing
health services delivery.
• HSDP I introduced a four tier system for health
service delivery.
– Primary health care unit (PHCU) (one HC and 5 HP health
posts) ~ 25,000 people
– District hospital ~ 250,000
– Zonal hospital ~ 1,000,000
– Specialized referral hospital.
17/12/2022
• In relation to Pharmaceutical sector, during HSDP I:
– The Proclamation to the Drug Administration and
Control Authority (DACA) have been issued &
completed;
– The National Drug List (NDL) of Ethiopia has been
updated, printed, and was issued in July 2001; and
– A federal Essential Drugs List has been prepared,
listing priority drugs which should be available at all
times, and structured by level of the health system.
– Improvement in drug availability has been observed in
the public and private sectors, partly through licensing
of a large number of drug outlets of various levels to
sell drugs (estimated at 311 pharmacies, 249 drug
shops and 1917 rural drug vendors), and the
establishment of several domestic manufacturers of
drugs and medical supplies within the country.
– There has been a significant increase in the supply of
drug and medical supplies to the public center
manifested by the marked increase in the drug budget
from 20 million to 245 million birr.

1.1 What is management?
• A set of activities directed at the efficient and effective
utilization of resources in the pursuit of one or more goals.
• Working with human, financial, and physical resources to
achieve organizational objectives by performing the planning,
organizing, directing and controlling functions.
• A problem solving process of the effectively achieving
organizational objectives through the efficient use of scarce
resources.
17/12/2022
• management is not a process, which is simply a method of
doing something.
• Managers are simply people who perform management
activities.
• While people whom we think of as “the boss” and those with
administrative appointments within an organization certainly
are managers, the fact is that anyone who has a task to
accomplish or a goal to achieve is a manager as well
17/12/2022
• Leadership
– It is a distinctly different skill from management.
– Leadership involves the ability to inspire or direct
others.
– It is desirable that all managers also have
leadership skills, they do not necessarily go hand
in hand

Management……..cont’d
• The Management Process
– There are three dimensions of management:
1. Activities that managers perform
2. Resources that managers need
3. Levels at which managers make decisions

Classical Management……..cont’d
• Organizing : concerned with
– Identifying tasks that must be performed
– Assigning tasks to personnel
– Defining authority & responsibility of assigned personnel
– Delegating such authority to employees
– Establishing a relationship b/n authority & responsibility
17/12/2022
Classical Management……..cont’d
– E.g. Once a pharmacist has decided which drug products
he should offer, he needs to ask himself
• what resources he needs to provide them
• Who is responsible for procurement
• how he will go about obtaining these resources
• and then determine when he will need to obtain.
• Leading or directing
– bringing about purposeful action toward some desired
outcome.
17/12/2022
Classical Management……..cont’d
• Control or evaluation
– Involves reviewing the progress that has been made
toward the objectives that were set out in the plan.
– Determining what actually happened and why it
happened.
– E.g. Pharmacists can ask themselves if the goods and
services they offered met their goals (e.g. Did the goods
and services result in high quality patient care or
improved clinical outcomes?)

• Access to health care includes access to essential
drugs.
• What is Access?
– Physical availability
• the type and quantity of product or service needed and
provided
– Affordability
• users ability to pay for the products/services
– Geographical accessibility
• the location of the product/service and eventual user
– Acceptability (satisfaction)
• Users’ attitudes and expectation about products and services
and the actual characteristics of products and services
17/12/2022
Concept of Essential …….cont’d
• Essential medicines
– are medicines that satisfy the priority health
care needs of the population
– should be available at all times, in adequate
amounts in appropriate dosage forms and at a
price the individual and the community can
afford”
17/12/2022
Concept of Essential …….cont’d
• Essential drugs concept
– “a limited number of carefully selected drugs based on
agreed clinical guidelines leads to more rational
prescribing, to a better supply of drugs and to lower costs”.
– It is a global concept that can be applied in any country, in
the private and public sectors and at different levels of the
health care system.

of drugs
17/12/2022
Formulary/essential medicines list
• Selection criteria
– Pattern of prevalent disease
– Treatment facilities
– Training and experience of available personnel
– Financial resources
– Genetic, demographic and environmental factor
– Medicines which have sound, adequate data on
efficacy and safety (clinical studies, evidence from
general setting)
– Adequate quality, including bioavailability, stability
under anticipated conditions of storage and use
17/12/2022
Formulary/essential medicines list
– Cost: Consider cost of the total treatment rather than the unit
cost of the medicine
• Use cost-effectiveness analysis result
– Other factors: PK properties, availability of facilities for
storage or manufacturers.
– Essential medicines formulated as single compounds.
– But fixed-ratio combination products are acceptable only
when
• The dosage of each ingredient meets the requirements of a
defined population
• The combination has a proven advantage over single
compounds
• Administered separately in therapeutic effect, safety or
compliance.

What is a national drug policy?
• A political commitment to a goal and a guide for
action.
– It expresses and prioritizes the medium- to long-term goals set
by the government for the pharmaceutical sector, and identifies
the main strategies for attaining them.
– It provides a framework within which the activities of the
pharmaceutical sector can be coordinated.
– It covers both the public and the private sectors, and involves
all the main actors in the pharmaceutical field.
17/12/2022
Why is a national drug policy needed?
• To present a formal record of values, aspirations, aims, decisions
and medium- to long-term government commitments;
• To define the national goals and objectives for the pharmaceutical
sector, and set priorities;
• To identify the strategies needed to meet those objectives, and
identify the various actors responsible for implementing the main
components of the policy;
• To create a forum for national discussions on these issues.

Implementing a NDP/NMP
• A policy without implementation is worthless
• NDP needs
– implementation plan or “master plan”
– a detailed strategy and
– specific action plans
• Priorities for implementation
– Priorities should be
• based on the severity of the problems
• on the potential for success in achieving the objective
• making an impact with available resources.
• Master plan and work plans
– Implementation plan or master plan cover a 3–5-year period.
17/12/2022
Implementing a NDP/NMP
– The master plan should be broken down into
• annual action plans and work plans
• specify in detail who is responsible,
• listing the major tasks,
• describing the target output, the detailed time frame and the exact
budget
• Responsibilities in implementation
– the Ministry of Health or a separate unit within the ministry
should oversee and coordinate all activities, and monitor the
extent of implementation and the achievement of targets.
17/12/2022
Implementing a NDP/NMP
• Creating a national consultative forum
– To oversee policy implementation.
– To maintain countrywide support for the policy
– To ensure that the major stakeholders remain informed and involved.
• Financial resources
– Actively seeking funds and be able to secure regular funding from the
government, international and local donors.
– there should be no conflict of interest in accepting donor contributions

– is a network of interconnected organizations or
organizational entities developed with the goal of getting
the right product to the right place at the right time
– Two or more parties linked by a flow of resources –
typically material, information, and money – that ultimately
fulfill a customer request

Key terms in health commodity
procurement
• Tender
– The documentation and initiation of a process for soliciting
bids; the specifications for the product/service desired and
opening the contract to the bidding process.
• Bid
– A written offer for a quantity of goods, works, or services,
at a stated price; based on technical specifications and
other terms and conditions.
17/12/2022
Procurement methods
• A procurement method is the technique that public
body uses to acquire goods, works and services.
• The method selected depends on a number of factors
including:
– the type of goods or service being procured
– the value of the good or service being procured
– the potential interest of foreign bidders
– the cost of the procurement process itself.
• Public bodies shall use open bidding as the preferred
procedure of procurement except as otherwise
provided in this Proclamation No. 649/2009. -
17/12/2022
• Public bodies may use a method other than open bidding
only where conditions for use of such other method
stipulated under this Proclamation are satisfied.
• A procurement methods:
– Open Bidding
• International Competitive Bidding
• National Competitive Bidding
– Two Stage Bidding
– Framework Approach
– Limited Bidding
– Request for Quotation
– Direct Contracting.
17/12/2022
Procurement methods
• Open Bidding/tender
– Is a formal procedure by which quotations are invited from any
suppliers on a local or worldwide basis, subjects to the terms and
conditions specified in the tender invitation
– all interested bidders are given adequate notification of contract
requirements
– all eligible bidders are given an equal opportunity to submit a tender
– The Public body must give sufficient public notification of bidding
opportunities to potential bidders to determine their interest and
prepare bid documents.
– the preferred procedure of procurement.
– a method other than open bidding is used only where conditions for use
of such other method stipulated under this proclamation are satisfied.
17/12/2022
• International Competitive Bidding (ICB)
– is a procurement procedure where bidding is open to all local or
international legal entities interested in submitting a tender
– shall be used wherever in national open bidding an effective
competition cannot be obtained unless foreign firms are invited to
bid.
– The objective of ICB is to provide all eligible prospective bidders
with timely and adequate notification of purchasers' requirements
and an equal opportunity to bid for the required goods and works.
17/12/2022
• National Competitive Bidding (NCB)
– NCB is the procurement procedure where Invitation to
Bid is restricted to the Federal Democratic Republic of
Ethiopia.
– NCB is preferred when
• an effective competition can be obtained where both
national and foreign firms are invited to bid.
• There are circumstances where ICB would not be the most
economic and efficient method of procurement, and where
NCB is deemed more appropriate.
•
17/12/2022
Procurement methods
• Limited Bidding /RESTRICTED TENDERING
– It includes both national and international.
– Interested suppliers must be approved in advance (prequalification
process)
• conditions for RESTRICTED TENDERING
– the required object of procurement is available only with limited suppliers;
– the cost of procurement does not exceed the threshold specified
– when the goods or services by reason of the highly complex or specialized nature
– are only available from a limited number of suppliers.
– he time and cost required to examine and evaluate a large number of bids would be
disproportionate to the value of the goods or services to be procured.
– This method is very similar to ICB/NCB using almost identical bidding documents.
17/12/2022
• Two Stage Bidding
• Public bodies may engage in procurement by means of two-stage
bidding:
– when it is not feasible for the Public body to formulate detailed
specifications for the goods or works and in the case of services, to
identify their characteristics and, in order to obtain the most
satisfactory solution to its procurement needs;
– when the Public body seeks to enter into a contract for the purpose of
research, experiment, study or development" except where the
contract includes the production of goods in quantities sufficient to
establish their commercial viability or to recover research and
development costs;
– where bid proceedings are initiated but no bids are submitted as a result of
the nature of the object of procurement not being clearly described or where
all bids are rejected due to failure;
– Because of the technical character of the required goods or works, or because
of the nature of the consultancy or other services it is necessary for the Public
body to negotiate with the suppliers.
17/12/2022
Procurement methods
• Request for Quotations
– for the purchase of readily available goods for which there is an
established market
– the estimated value of the contract does not exceed an amount stated
in the procurement directive to be issued by the Minister.
– Request for quotation can be theoretically both from National and
International suppliers or even a mixture.
– In practice, it is usually only used for national due to the limitation of the
threshold that would make it extremely unlikely, a response would be
received from an International. This method only requires quotations to be
solicited from at least three different suppliers.
17/12/2022
Procurement methods
• Direct Procurement
– is when the purchaser establishes direct contact with suppliers (without competition)
or their representatives.
– it can be applied both for domestic and foreign Contractors/ Suppliers/ Consultants.
• Conditions for Direct Procurement
– in absence of competitions (goods, works consultancy) or provided only by one
candidate;
– for additional deliveries of goods by the original supplier
• replacement , installations or as the extension of existing supplies,
– additional works, which have been not included in the initial contract
– During emergency
17/12/2022
• General circumstances for direct contracting
– Emergency
– Urgency (very seldom seen in international best practice)
– When a competitive bidding process has been conducted several
times without satisfactory result
– Procure or lease real estate property
– Standardization
– Established prices/rates
– Existing contract (including contract variations & amendments)
– Procuring based on a competitive bidding conducted within last e.g.
12 months – same item/prices
– Professional services that cannot be objectively evaluated.
– Situations, where formal solicitation will not give satisfactory result
17/12/2022
• Framework contracts – often a way to avoid emergency
procurement
– Establishing long term zero-contract framework contracts based a competitive process
and with short notices for delivery is a common way to avoid ‘emergency’ and
‘urgency’ procurement.
– If such zero-framework contracts are established for goods/services which have a
history for falling under emergency/urgency, the products/services can be required
with short notice – and still based on competitive tendering.
– Whether or not the need comes up: the cost of having the zero framework contracts is
zero.

• Appropriate term needs to be chosen
• E.g., EXW
– an exporter needs to make the goods available for pick
up and provide any product information needed.
– The importer's agent (freight forwarder) will arrange
and pay for the pre-carriage, shipping, insurance and
any additional costs from the exporter's door.
• CIF
– term requires the exporter to arrange and pay for the
pre-carriage, shipping, and insurance to a named port
of destination.
– In this case, the sale price (invoice) includes the Cost
of goods, Insurance and Freight costs that the importer
pays the exporter.

• The 2010 version consists 11 terms grouped into two
• Rules for Sea and Inland Waterway Transport:
• FAS - Free Alongside Ship
– Risk passes to buyer, including payment of all transportation and insurance
costs, once delivered alongside the ship (realistically at named port terminal)
by the seller. The export clearance obligation rests with the seller.
• FOB - Free On Board:
– Risk passes to buyer, including payment of all transportation and insurance
costs, once delivered on board the ship by the seller.
• CFR - Cost and Freight
– Seller delivers goods and risk passes to buyer when on board the vessel.
– Seller arranges and pays cost and freight to the named destination port. A step
further than FOB.
• CIF - Cost, Insurance and Freight
– Risk passes to buyer when delivered on board the ship.
– Seller arranges and pays cost, freight and insurance to destination port.
– Adds insurance costs to CFR.
Cont…d
• Rules for Any Mode or Modes of Transportation:
• EXW - Ex Works:
– Seller delivers (without loading) the goods at disposal of buyer at seller's
premises.
– Long held as the most preferable term for those new-to-export because it
represents the minimum liability to the seller.
• FCA - Free Carrier:
– Seller delivers the goods to the carrier and may be responsible for
clearing the goods for export. More realistic than EXW because it
includes loading at pick-up, which is commonly expected, and sellers are
more concerned about export violations.
• CPT - Carriage Paid To:
– Seller delivers goods to the carrier at an agreed place, shifting risk to the
buyer, but seller must pay cost of carriage to the named place of
destination.
• CIP - Carriage and Insurance Paid To:
– Seller delivers goods to the carrier at an agreed place, shifting risk to the
buyer, but seller pays carriage and insurance to the named place of
destination.
Cont…d
• DAT - Delivered at Terminal:
– Seller bears cost, risk and responsibility until goods are unloaded
(delivered) at named quay, warehouse, yard, or terminal at
destination.
– Demurrage or detention charges may apply to seller.
– Seller clears goods for export, not import.
• DAP - Delivered at Place:
– Seller bears cost, risk and responsibility for goods until made
available to buyer at named place of destination. Seller clears
goods for export, not import.
• DDP - Delivered Duty Paid:
– Seller bears cost, risk and responsibility for cleared goods at
named place of destination at buyers disposal.
– Buyer is responsible for unloading.
– Seller is responsible for import clearance, duties and taxes so
buyer is not “importer of record”.

Making and Receiving Payment Internationally :
International Payment Instruments
• payment methods available in settling an
international trade transaction.
– Clean Payments
– Documentary Collections
– Letters of Credit
Clean Payments
•Clean Payments are characterized by trust.
• Either the Exporter sends the goods and trusts the Importer to pay once the
goods have been received, or the Importer trusts the Exporter to send the goods
after payment is effected.
•In the case of Clean Payment transactions, all shipping documents, including title
documents, are handled directly by the trading parties. The role of banks is limited
to clearing funds as required.
•There are two types of Clean Payments: Open Account & Payment in Advance.
•Open Account. The Importer is trusted to pay the Exporter after receipt of the
goods.
•Payment in Advance. An arrangement whereby the Exporter is trusted to ship
the goods after receiving payment from the Importer.
Clean Payments
How does an Open Account transaction work?
OPEN ACCOUNT: The
Exporter ships the goods

Documentary Collections
What is a Documentary Collection?
•A method of payment used in international trade whereby the Exporter
entrusts the handling of commercial and often financial documents to
banks and gives the banks instructions concerning the release of these
documents to the Importer.
•Banks involved do not provide any guarantee of payment.
•Documents Against Payment (D/P) & Documents Against
Acceptance (D/A)
Documentary Collections may be carried out in two different ways:
•Documents Against Payment. Documents are released to the
Importer only against payment. Also known as a Sight Collection or
Cash Against Documents (CAD).
•Documents Against Acceptance. Documents are released to the
Importer only against acceptance of a draft. Also known as a Term
Collection.
Documentary Collections
How does a Documentary Collection work?
The mechanics of a Documentary Collection are
easily understood when separated into the following
three steps:
» Flow of Goods
» Flow of Documents
» Flow of Payment
Documentary Collections:
Flow of Documents
After the goods are shipped, documents
originating with the Exporter (e.g. commercial
invoice) and the transport company (e.g. bill of
lading) are delivered to a bank, called the
Remitting Bank in the Collection process. The
role of the Remitting Bank is to send these
documents accompanied by a Collection
Instruction giving complete and precise
instructions to a bank in the Importer’s
country, referred to as the Collecting/
Presenting Bank in the Collection process.
The Collecting/ Presenting Bank acts in
accordance with the instructions given in the
Collection Instruction and releases the
documents to the Importer against payment
or acceptance, according to the Remitting
Bank’s Collection instructions.
Note: The Exporter’s Bank and the Remitting Bank need
not be the same. Also, the Collecting Bank and Presenting
Bank need not be the same. Each role could be
performed by a different bank.

Risk Analysis: Documentary Collections
Documentary Collections may be settled in two different ways. Documents Against Payment (D/P) refers to a
Collection where the Importer receives the documents only in exchange for payment. With Documents Against
Acceptance (D/A), the Importer may obtain the documents in exchange for the acceptance of the obligation to pay
at a specified future date. These two methods of settlement carry different risks for both Importers and Exporters.
Documents Against
Payment (D/P)
Documents Against
Acceptance (D/A)
Advantages to the Exporter:
•Documents are not released to the Importer until payment
has been effected.
•Less costly than a Letter of Credit.
Disadvantages to the Exporter:
•Risk of refusal of payment.
•Commercial and country risks not hedged.
Advantages to the Importer:
•Ability to examine documents before authorizing payment.
•Unlike a Letter of Credit, a line of credit is not required, and
fees are minimal.
Disadvantages to the Importer:
•In the case that transport documents carry title, cannot
access goods until payment has been made.
Advantages to the Exporter:
•Less costly than a Letter of Credit.
•May provide formal/legal means to collect unpaid obligation.
Disadvantages to the Exporter:
•Risk of non-acceptance of documents.
•Commercial and country risks not hedged.
•Although bill of exchange/draft is accepted by the Importer,
there is no guarantee of payment by the banks involved.
•Legal enforcement of unpaid obligation costly and time-
consuming.
Advantages to the Importer:
•Will receive goods before having to make payment.
Disadvantages to the Importer:
•Dishonouring an accepted draft is a legal liability and may ruin
business reputation.
Letters of Credit
•A Letter of Credit is a written undertaking by the Importer’s bank, known as
the Issuing Bank, on behalf of its customer, the Importer (Applicant),
promising to effect payment in favor of the Exporter (Beneficiary) up to a
stated sum of money, within a prescribed time limit and against stipulated
documents.
•A key principle underlying Letters of Credit is that banks deal only in
documents and not in goods.
•The decision to pay under a Letter of Credit will be based entirely on whether
the documents presented to the bank appear on their face to be in accordance
with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit.
• It would be prohibitive for the banks to physically check whether all
merchandise has been shipped exactly as per each letter of Credit.
What is a Letter of Credit?
Letters of Credit
• Letters of Credit are either
Revocable or Irrevocable:
– A Revocable Letter of
Credit can be revoked
without the consent of the
Exporter, (it may be
canceled or changed up to
the time the documents are
presented).
– An Irrevocable Letter of
Credit cannot be canceled
or amended without the
consent of all parties
including the Exporter.
Unless otherwise stipulated,
all Letters of Credit are
irrevocable.
• Letters of Credit may be settled
either by sight or by
acceptance:
– If payment is to be made at
the time that documents
are presented, this is
referred to as a sight Letter
of Credit.
– If payment is to be made at
a future fixed time from the
presentation of documents,
this is referred to as a term
Letter of Credit
Basic Facts: Revocable/Irrevocable & Sight/Term
Letters of Credit
Confirmed Letter of Credit
•Under a Confirmed Letter of Credit, a bank, called the Confirming
Bank, adds its commitment to that of the Issuing Bank to pay the
Exporter under the Letter of Credit provided all terms and
conditions of the Letter of Credit are met. The Confirming Bank is
usually located in the same country as the Exporter.
•An Exporter would request a Confirmed Letter of Credit if it does
not consider the financial strength of the Issuing Bank or the
country in which it is located to be acceptable risks.
Letters of Credit
How does a Letter of Credit work?
The mechanics of a Letter of Credit are easily
understood when separated into the following
three steps:
»Issuance
»Flow of Goods
»Flow of Documents & Payment
Letters of Credit:
Issuance
After the trading parties agree on a sale
of goods where payment is made by
Letter of Credit, the Importer requests
that its bank (the Issuing Bank) issue a
Letter of Credit in favour of the
Exporter (Beneficiary).
The Issuing Bank then sends the Letter
of Credit to the Advising Bank. A
request may be included for the
Advising Bank to add its confirmation.
The Advising Bank is usually located in
the country where the Exporter does
business and may be the Exporter’s
bank, but does not have to be.
Next, the Advising/Confirming Bank
verifies the Letter of Credit for
authenticity and sends it to the
Exporter.

Upon receipt of the Letter of Credit,
the Exporter reviews the Letter of
Credit to ensure that it corresponds
to the terms and conditions in the
purchase and sales agreement; that
the documents stipulated in the
Letter of Credit can be produced;
and that the terms and conditions of
the Letter of Credit can be fulfilled.
Assuming the Exporter is in
agreement with the above, it
arranges for shipment of the goods.

After the goods are shipped, the

Confirming Bank.
Once the documents are
checked and found to comply
with the Letter of Credit (i.e.
without discrepancies), the
Advising/ Confirming Bank
forwards these documents to the
Issuing Bank. The drawing is

Risk Analysis: Letters of Credit
Importer Exporter
Advantages:
•An undertaking from the Issuing Bank
that you will receive payment under the
Letter of Credit provided that you meet all
terms and conditions of the Letter of
Credit.
•Shifts credit risk from the Importer to the
Issuing bank.
•Not obligated to ship against a Letter of
Credit that is not issued as agreed.
Disadvantages:
•Documents must be prepared in strict
compliance with the requirements
stipulated in the Letter of Credit. Non-
compliance leaves Exporter exposed to
risk of non-payment.
Advantages:
•Importer is assured that, for
the Exporter to be paid, all
terms and conditions of the
Letter of Credit must be met.
•Ability to negotiate more
favourable trade terms with
the Exporter when payment by
Letter of Credit is offered.
Disadvantages:
•A Letter of Credit assures
correct documents but not
necessarily correct goods.
•Ties up line of credit.
INTERNATIONAL PAYMENTS RISK SPECTRUM
Notice that Open Account and Payment in Advance sit at opposite ends of the Risk Spectrum.
Documentary Collections offer more of a compromise in risk-taking between the Importer
and the Exporter than Clean Payments. Whereas payment settled via Open Account and
Payment in Advance represent a high degree of risk for one of the parties involved, both
Documentary Collections and Letters of Credit offer a compromise in risks facing the
Importer and the Exporter.

Delphi Method
The Delphi Method has the following steps:
STEP 1 – Participating panel members are selected.
STEP 2. Questionnaires asking for opinions about the variables to be forecast are
distributed to panel members.
STEP 3. Results from panel members are collected, tabulated, and summarized.
– Copies of summary are given to the individual experts with the request that they modify
their original answers if they think it necessary.
STEP 4 – Another summary is made of these modifications, and copies again are
distributed to the experts. This time, however, expert opinions that deviate significantly
from the norm must be justified in writing.
STEP 5 – A third summary is made of the opinions and justifications, and copies are once
again distributed to the experts. Justification in writing for all answers is now required.
STEP 6 – The forecast is generated from all of the opinions and justifications that arise
from step 5.

Sales force composite
Sales force composite:
Marketers have sales managers or representatives at different
sales territories (districts/region) and marketers believe that sales
managers know their territory better than anybody else.
Managers ask respective sales manager to forecast expected sales in
their own territories.
The total of all these estimates basically gives company’s
sales/demand forecast for next period.
Advantage: getting information from sources who are very close to
actual Buyers
Disadvantage: if sales force are given quotas and bonus is
considered based on the assigned performance

Time series methods are statistical techniques that make
use of historical data accumulated over a period of time.
Time series methods assume that what has occurred in the
past will continue to occur in the future.
These methods relate the forecast to only one factor time.

Moving average: an average of n past periods
 Forecast is based on more recent sales data (but still equally weighted)
 n determines which periods to be included in the forecast
 What value of n to choose?
 Small number (n=3) results in responsive forecast, while high number (n=10) gives a less sensitive forecast
 The moving average method is good for stable demand with no pronounced behavioral patterns.

  • 168. Procurement methods • Limited Bidding /RESTRICTED TENDERING – It includes both national and international. – Interested suppliers must be approved in advance (prequalification process) • conditions for RESTRICTED TENDERING – the required object of procurement is available only with limited suppliers; – the cost of procurement does not exceed the threshold specified – when the goods or services by reason of the highly complex or specialized nature – are only available from a limited number of suppliers. – he time and cost required to examine and evaluate a large number of bids would be disproportionate to the value of the goods or services to be procured. – This method is very similar to ICB/NCB using almost identical bidding documents. 17/12/2022
  • 169. • Two Stage Bidding • Public bodies may engage in procurement by means of two-stage bidding: – when it is not feasible for the Public body to formulate detailed specifications for the goods or works and in the case of services, to identify their characteristics and, in order to obtain the most satisfactory solution to its procurement needs; – when the Public body seeks to enter into a contract for the purpose of research, experiment, study or development" except where the contract includes the production of goods in quantities sufficient to establish their commercial viability or to recover research and development costs; – where bid proceedings are initiated but no bids are submitted as a result of the nature of the object of procurement not being clearly described or where all bids are rejected due to failure; – Because of the technical character of the required goods or works, or because of the nature of the consultancy or other services it is necessary for the Public body to negotiate with the suppliers. 17/12/2022
  • 170. Procurement methods • Request for Quotations – for the purchase of readily available goods for which there is an established market – the estimated value of the contract does not exceed an amount stated in the procurement directive to be issued by the Minister. – Request for quotation can be theoretically both from National and International suppliers or even a mixture. – In practice, it is usually only used for national due to the limitation of the threshold that would make it extremely unlikely, a response would be received from an International.

Procurement methods • Direct Procurement – is when the purchaser establishes direct contact with suppliers (without competition) or their representatives. – it can be applied both for domestic and foreign Contractors/ Suppliers/ Consultants. • Conditions for Direct Procurement – in absence of competitions (goods, works consultancy) or provided only by one candidate; – for additional deliveries of goods by the original supplier • replacement , installations or as the extension of existing supplies, – additional works, which have been not included in the initial contract – During emergency 17/12/2022
  • 172. • General circumstances for direct contracting – Emergency – Urgency (very seldom seen in international best practice) – When a competitive bidding process has been conducted several times without satisfactory result – Procure or lease real estate property – Standardization – Established prices/rates – Existing contract (including contract variations & amendments) – Procuring based on a competitive bidding conducted within last e.g. 12 months – same item/prices – Professional services that cannot be objectively evaluated. – Situations, where formal solicitation will not give satisfactory result 17/12/2022
  • 173. • Framework contracts – often a way to avoid emergency procurement – Establishing long term zero-contract framework contracts based a competitive process and with short notices for delivery is a common way to avoid ‘emergency’ and ‘urgency’ procurement. – If such zero-framework contracts are established for goods/services which have a history for falling under emergency/urgency, the products/services can be required with short notice – and still based on competitive tendering. – Whether or not the need comes up: the cost of having the zero framework contracts is zero. 17/12/2022

The export clearance obligation rests with the seller. • FOB - Free On Board: – Risk passes to buyer, including payment of all transportation and insurance costs, once delivered on board the ship by the seller. • CFR - Cost and Freight – Seller delivers goods and risk passes to buyer when on board the vessel. – Seller arranges and pays cost and freight to the named destination port. A step further than FOB. • CIF - Cost, Insurance and Freight – Risk passes to buyer when delivered on board the ship. – Seller arranges and pays cost, freight and insurance to destination port. – Adds insurance costs to CFR.
  • 179. Cont…d • Rules for Any Mode or Modes of Transportation: • EXW - Ex Works: – Seller delivers (without loading) the goods at disposal of buyer at seller's premises. – Long held as the most preferable term for those new-to-export because it represents the minimum liability to the seller. • FCA - Free Carrier: – Seller delivers the goods to the carrier and may be responsible for clearing the goods for export. More realistic than EXW because it includes loading at pick-up, which is commonly expected, and sellers are more concerned about export violations. • CPT - Carriage Paid To: – Seller delivers goods to the carrier at an agreed place, shifting risk to the buyer, but seller must pay cost of carriage to the named place of destination. • CIP - Carriage and Insurance Paid To: – Seller delivers goods to the carrier at an agreed place, shifting risk to the buyer, but seller pays carriage and insurance to the named place of destination.

  • 187. Making and Receiving Payment Internationally : International Payment Instruments • payment methods available in settling an international trade transaction. – Clean Payments – Documentary Collections – Letters of Credit
  • 188. Clean Payments •Clean Payments are characterized by trust. • Either the Exporter sends the goods and trusts the Importer to pay once the goods have been received, or the Importer trusts the Exporter to send the goods after payment is effected. •In the case of Clean Payment transactions, all shipping documents, including title documents, are handled directly by the trading parties. The role of banks is limited to clearing funds as required. •There are two types of Clean Payments: Open Account & Payment in Advance. •Open Account. The Importer is trusted to pay the Exporter after receipt of the goods. •Payment in Advance. An arrangement whereby the Exporter is trusted to ship the goods after receiving payment from the Importer.
  • 189. Clean Payments How does an Open Account transaction work? OPEN ACCOUNT: The Exporter ships the goods and the documents directly to the Importer and waits for the Importer to send payment. Exporter Importer 2 GOODS 1 PAYMENT

Disadvantages to Importer: •Assumes all risks •Opportunity cost of using company’s cash resources until goods are received. Open Account Payment in Advance Advantages to Exporter: •None - but could clinch the sale! Disadvantages to Exporter: •Assumes all risks Advantages to Importer: •Assumes no risks •Delays use of company’s cash resources. Disadvantages to Importer: •None
  • 192. Documentary Collections What is a Documentary Collection? •A method of payment used in international trade whereby the Exporter entrusts the handling of commercial and often financial documents to banks and gives the banks instructions concerning the release of these documents to the Importer. •Banks involved do not provide any guarantee of payment. •Documents Against Payment (D/P) & Documents Against Acceptance (D/A) Documentary Collections may be carried out in two different ways: •Documents Against Payment. Documents are released to the Importer only against payment. Also known as a Sight Collection or Cash Against Documents (CAD). •Documents Against Acceptance. Documents are released to the Importer only against acceptance of a draft. Also known as a Term Collection.
  • 193. Documentary Collections How does a Documentary Collection work? The mechanics of a Documentary Collection are easily understood when separated into the following three steps: » Flow of Goods » Flow of Documents » Flow of Payment
  • 194. Documentary Collections: Flow of Documents After the goods are shipped, documents originating with the Exporter (e.g. commercial invoice) and the transport company (e.g. bill of lading) are delivered to a bank, called the Remitting Bank in the Collection process. The role of the Remitting Bank is to send these documents accompanied by a Collection Instruction giving complete and precise instructions to a bank in the Importer’s country, referred to as the Collecting/ Presenting Bank in the Collection process. The Collecting/ Presenting Bank acts in accordance with the instructions given in the Collection Instruction and releases the documents to the Importer against payment or acceptance, according to the Remitting Bank’s Collection instructions. Note: The Exporter’s Bank and the Remitting Bank need not be the same. Also, the Collecting Bank and Presenting Bank need not be the same. Each role could be performed by a different bank.

  • 196. Risk Analysis: Documentary Collections Documentary Collections may be settled in two different ways. Documents Against Payment (D/P) refers to a Collection where the Importer receives the documents only in exchange for payment. With Documents Against Acceptance (D/A), the Importer may obtain the documents in exchange for the acceptance of the obligation to pay at a specified future date. These two methods of settlement carry different risks for both Importers and Exporters. Documents Against Payment (D/P) Documents Against Acceptance (D/A) Advantages to the Exporter: •Documents are not released to the Importer until payment has been effected. •Less costly than a Letter of Credit. Disadvantages to the Exporter: •Risk of refusal of payment. •Commercial and country risks not hedged. Advantages to the Importer: •Ability to examine documents before authorizing payment. •Unlike a Letter of Credit, a line of credit is not required, and fees are minimal. Disadvantages to the Importer: •In the case that transport documents carry title, cannot access goods until payment has been made. Advantages to the Exporter: •Less costly than a Letter of Credit. •May provide formal/legal means to collect unpaid obligation. Disadvantages to the Exporter: •Risk of non-acceptance of documents. •Commercial and country risks not hedged. •Although bill of exchange/draft is accepted by the Importer, there is no guarantee of payment by the banks involved. •Legal enforcement of unpaid obligation costly and time- consuming. Advantages to the Importer: •Will receive goods before having to make payment. Disadvantages to the Importer: •Dishonouring an accepted draft is a legal liability and may ruin business reputation.
  • 197. Letters of Credit •A Letter of Credit is a written undertaking by the Importer’s bank, known as the Issuing Bank, on behalf of its customer, the Importer (Applicant), promising to effect payment in favor of the Exporter (Beneficiary) up to a stated sum of money, within a prescribed time limit and against stipulated documents. •A key principle underlying Letters of Credit is that banks deal only in documents and not in goods. •The decision to pay under a Letter of Credit will be based entirely on whether the documents presented to the bank appear on their face to be in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit. • It would be prohibitive for the banks to physically check whether all merchandise has been shipped exactly as per each letter of Credit. What is a Letter of Credit?
  • 198. Letters of Credit • Letters of Credit are either Revocable or Irrevocable: – A Revocable Letter of Credit can be revoked without the consent of the Exporter, (it may be canceled or changed up to the time the documents are presented). – An Irrevocable Letter of Credit cannot be canceled or amended without the consent of all parties including the Exporter. Unless otherwise stipulated, all Letters of Credit are irrevocable. • Letters of Credit may be settled either by sight or by acceptance: – If payment is to be made at the time that documents are presented, this is referred to as a sight Letter of Credit. – If payment is to be made at a future fixed time from the presentation of documents, this is referred to as a term Letter of Credit Basic Facts: Revocable/Irrevocable & Sight/Term
  • 199. Letters of Credit Confirmed Letter of Credit •Under a Confirmed Letter of Credit, a bank, called the Confirming Bank, adds its commitment to that of the Issuing Bank to pay the Exporter under the Letter of Credit provided all terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit are met. The Confirming Bank is usually located in the same country as the Exporter. •An Exporter would request a Confirmed Letter of Credit if it does not consider the financial strength of the Issuing Bank or the country in which it is located to be acceptable risks.
  • 200. Letters of Credit How does a Letter of Credit work? The mechanics of a Letter of Credit are easily understood when separated into the following three steps: »Issuance »Flow of Goods »Flow of Documents & Payment
  • 201. Letters of Credit: Issuance After the trading parties agree on a sale of goods where payment is made by Letter of Credit, the Importer requests that its bank (the Issuing Bank) issue a Letter of Credit in favour of the Exporter (Beneficiary). The Issuing Bank then sends the Letter of Credit to the Advising Bank. A request may be included for the Advising Bank to add its confirmation. The Advising Bank is usually located in the country where the Exporter does business and may be the Exporter’s bank, but does not have to be. Next, the Advising/Confirming Bank verifies the Letter of Credit for authenticity and sends it to the Exporter. 1 Importer applies for Letter of Credit. 3 Request to advise & possibly confirm the Letter of Credit Advice /Confirmation of the Letter of Credit. Advising/ Confirming Bank Issuing Bank 2 4 Exporter/ Beneficiary Importer/A pplicant Contract Negotiations
  • 202. Letters of Credit: Flow of Goods Upon receipt of the Letter of Credit, the Exporter reviews the Letter of Credit to ensure that it corresponds to the terms and conditions in the purchase and sales agreement; that the documents stipulated in the Letter of Credit can be produced; and that the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit can be fulfilled. Assuming the Exporter is in agreement with the above, it arranges for shipment of the goods. GOODS Exporter/Beneficiary Importer/Applicant
  • 203. Letters of Credit: Flow of Documents & Payment After the goods are shipped, the Exporter presents the documents specified in the Letter of Credit to the Advising/ Confirming Bank. Once the documents are checked and found to comply with the Letter of Credit (i.e. without discrepancies), the Advising/ Confirming Bank forwards these documents to the Issuing Bank. The drawing is negotiated, paid or accepted as the case may be. Issuing Bank 2 4 Exporter/ Beneficiary Importer/A pplicant Documents 5 Documents 3 Advising/ Confirming Bank 1 GOODS
  • 204. Letters of Credit: Flow of Documents & Payment In turn, the Issuing Bank examines the documents to ensure they comply with the Letter of Credit. If the documents are in order, the Issuing Bank will obtain payment from the Importer for payment already made to the Confirming Bank. Documents are delivered to the Importer to allow it to take possession of the goods.

  • 205. Risk Analysis: Letters of Credit Importer Exporter Advantages: •An undertaking from the Issuing Bank that you will receive payment under the Letter of Credit provided that you meet all terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit. •Shifts credit risk from the Importer to the Issuing bank. •Not obligated to ship against a Letter of Credit that is not issued as agreed. Disadvantages: •Documents must be prepared in strict compliance with the requirements stipulated in the Letter of Credit. Non- compliance leaves Exporter exposed to risk of non-payment. Advantages: •Importer is assured that, for the Exporter to be paid, all terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit must be met. •Ability to negotiate more favourable trade terms with the Exporter when payment by Letter of Credit is offered. Disadvantages: •A Letter of Credit assures correct documents but not necessarily correct goods. •Ties up line of credit.
  • 206. INTERNATIONAL PAYMENTS RISK SPECTRUM Notice that Open Account and Payment in Advance sit at opposite ends of the Risk Spectrum. Documentary Collections offer more of a compromise in risk-taking between the Importer and the Exporter than Clean Payments. Whereas payment settled via Open Account and Payment in Advance represent a high degree of risk for one of the parties involved, both Documentary Collections and Letters of Credit offer a compromise in risks facing the Importer and the Exporter.

Results from panel members are collected, tabulated, and summarized. – Copies of summary are given to the individual experts with the request that they modify their original answers if they think it necessary. STEP 4 – Another summary is made of these modifications, and copies again are distributed to the experts. This time, however, expert opinions that deviate significantly from the norm must be justified in writing. STEP 5 – A third summary is made of the opinions and justifications, and copies are once again distributed to the experts. Justification in writing for all answers is now required.
