For every child, deliver.
Strengthening the capacity of UNICEF, governments, and other partners in designing, implementing, and monitoring resilient and sustainable supply chains is essential in achieving equitable access to life-saving supplies for children, their families, and communities. As part of the humanitarian-development nexus, UNICEF remains a reliable partner in supporting governments to improve their supply chain maturity levels even during complex fragile, and humanitarian contexts.
The EAP Region is an emergency prone zone that includes both low- and middle-income countries and has a rapidly evolving supply function. Consequently, emergency prepositioning, development of more resilient national supply chains and requests for UNICEF to facilitate technical assistance in support of national systems are increasing. With expanding government resources, the potential for UNICEF engagement in supply chain support, usually leveraging the Procurement Services mechanism as an entry point, is a strategic opportunity in the region.
