South Africa’s health system relies on provincial governments to allocate budgets and procure essential
commodities, including vaccines and nutrition supplies, within a decentralized fiscal framework. While national
authorities are responsible for forecasting needs, provincial autonomy in budgeting and procurement decisions
can result in misalignment between planned requirements and actual resource allocation. This contributes to
variability in commodity availability across provinces, affecting service delivery and outcomes. Given that
vaccines and nutrition commodities are critical inputs for Primary Health Care (PHC), disruptions in their
availability can undermine continuity of care, equity, and the effectiveness of child health services, ultimately
impacting child health outcomes such as immunisation coverage, nutritional status, morbidity, and mortality.
