What I'm doing

Many of you must be curious what my job actually involves. I bring 14 million dollars worth of ART drugs into the country. The drugs and diagnostic consumables are donated by UNITAID and I do the quantification and forecasting of drug consumption with implementing partners, place orders and manage the import and delivery of these drugs. I also work with the government to improve their quantification of consumption and forecasting across the country.

So basically, I'm a drug kingpin.

Apparently there is more to the role but this in itself has kept me quite busy these last few weeks. Once the quarter's quantification and ordering process is over (in a month or so) I can start looking at other stuff.

On a side note, here is great article on trade ties between India and Africa: http://edition.cnn.com/2011/BUSINESS/08/25/india.charm.africa.china/index.html?hpt=hp_bn1
