This report attempts to assess what it would take to meet the goal of universal access to Reproductive Health commodities. It estimates what would be required to scale up commodity provision from current levels to universal coverage by the year 2015.

Commodity requirements are estimated for 3 areas of sexual and reproductive health: 1) Contraceptives and family planning supplies; 2) Condoms to protect against STIs, including HIV/AIDS; and 3) Drugs and medical supplies required to provide an essential package of RH interventions ranging from antenatal care to delivery care to emergency obstetric care, and including basic newborn care and the treatment of STIs.
