| Abstract | This mixed survey was conducted in four different government organizations between May 20, 2019, to June 20, 2019. The objective of the survey was to review the evolution of DTCs in Ethiopia from their early years to current practice; identify the major hindering factors for their functionality and impact on the pharmaceutical SCM system and pharmacy service and propose feasible recommendations. The finding of this report revealed that DTCs were introduced in Ethiopia in the early 1980s. The mandate of DTCs has been given to four different government organizations since this time. As a result, its implementation was lagging. Recently, the government and its partners have given attention to DTCs. More than 5847 professionals underwent DTC training from 2016 onwards. DTC establishment in health facilities (HFs) improved from 85% to 98% between 2015 and 2019 during baseline and end-line assessments carried out by CHAI/CSP. Similarly, DTC functionality in HFs improved from 20% to 63%. The CHAI/CSP regular supervision data analysis revealed that DTC establishment improved from 83% to 100% of HFs, while its functionality improved from 5% to 72% between 2016 and 2019, respectively. A chi-square test of independence examining the relationship between facility and pharmacy head training on DTCs and functionality of DTC in the same facility revealed a significant association. |

| Description | The 2019 report on Drug and Therapeutics Committee (DTC) Evolution and Expanded Scope in Ethiopia data set is produced as a study by a mainly qualitative review of available national and international documents. The review documents were government DTC-related guidelines, SOPs, WHO documents, partners’ monitoring and evaluation findings, SS and survey reports, and training databases. The study was conducted using semi-structured interview guides were used for the KIIs with open-ended questions from May 20, 2019, to June 20, 2019. This data set captures the evolution of DTCs in Ethiopia from their early years to current practice; identifies the major hindering factors for their functionality and impact on the pharmaceutical SCM system and pharmacy service and proposes feasible recommendations. This data set specifically also captures the history of DTCs in Ethiopia, identify the major driving factors/process for DTC impact on health care improvement in Ethiopia, and identify the barriers to DTC functionality in HFs in Ethiopia, and forward recommendations to strengthen DTCs across the country. |
