UNICEF is dedicated to protecting children’s and women’s rights through helping them meet their basic needs and expanding their opportunities. Making essential supplies available, accessible and affordable is core to this commitment. Procurement Services enables UNICEF to support Governments, NGOs, UN Agencies and other development partners in fulfilling children’s right to survival and development and the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals. The primary purpose is to ensure that Governments and other development partners can access UNICEF’s supply networks, experience and expertise to procure strategic, essential commodities for children.
