Tools to Help Countries Assess their Needs and Manage their Supplies
One of UNFPA’s most important functions in ensuring Reproductive Health Commodity Security is building national capacity. Toward this end, the Fund has developed a number of tools, including inventories, step-by-step guides, and models for forecasting and estimating commodity needs, as well as a system to qualify and monitor manufacturers of reproductive health supplies.
Some of the management tools developed by UNFPA to increase national, regional and global capacity to achieve Reproductive Health Commodity Security are:
