UNICEF Supply

UNICEF procures and delivers over $7.12 billion annually in supplies and services that are critical in fulfilling children's rights to health, education and protection. UNICEF's Supply and Logistics headquarters in Copenhagen ensures that affordable life-saving supplies are available in the right quantity and of the right quality, wherever children are in need. As well as supporting UNICEF's ongoing programmatic activities, the Supply function provides rapid supply response to emergencies. Strategies to achieve results for children focus on influencing global markets for supplies, product innovation and supply chain strengthening. Cross-cutting strategies in monitoring, evaluation, partnerships with health and development organizations, governments and the private sector, and establishing learning opportunities for staff are also critical areas that enable Supply Division's work.
