UNFPA Supplies – UNFPA’s largest thematic trust fund – helps countries build stronger health systems and widen access to a reliable supply of contraceptives and life-saving medicines for maternal health. Since its inception in 2007, UNFPA Supplies has mobilized over US$1 billion to support national action to reach poor and marginalized women and girls in countries with high unmet need for family planning and high rates of maternal death.
UNFPA Supplies seeks to ensure, over time, the sustainability of national reproductive health commodity security (RHCS) efforts, with a focus on enhancing national health systems for supply chain management and the delivery of reproductive health services, including family planning services, with a particular attention to reaching marginalized populations. The influence of the Programme’s catalytic leadership with governments and partners can be seen in stronger and more inclusive policies, stronger and more sustainable national health systems and supply chains, stronger more inclusive commitment to family planning programming especially for disadvantaged women and girls, and has contributed to significant increases in use of modern contraception and notable improvements in key reproductive health indicators.
