UNFPA Procurement - Supplies for Reproductive Health Results
For more than 30 years, UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund, has been procuring contraceptives and related commodities for the developing world. Through its extensive experience and solid track record, UNFPA is today the largest public sector procurer of these items. Our unique expertise in this area and the significant volume of contraceptives procured annually allows for access to the most favourable international pricing. As the leading procurement agency for contraceptives and related commodities, UNFPA invites partners in development to benefit from our unique knowledge base and market influence.
