UNICEF Supply

Last week, UNICEF Supply hosted the Nutrition Suppliers Forum in Copenhagen with 270 participants from 50 countries to discuss progress, new initiatives and how we can work with governments, UN agencies, donors and industry so that more children receive the nutrition they need. The recent #N4GParis summit gave us hope with new commitments to strengthening food systems and improving children's access to vital life-saving treatment and essential supplements.    We are focussed on making nutrition programmes work better, leveraging industry innovation to bring quality and affordable products to market. By working together, we can turn commitments into action, making sure children have access to the nutrition they need to thrive. 

Only 10% of children who need assistive technology (AT) in low- and middle-income countries have access to it. At #GDS2025, UNICEF committed to helping governments provide AT access to at least 5M children. Here's how👇 🛒 Expanding the UNICEF Supply Catalogue from 24 to over 180 AT products, including wheelchairs, hearing aids, and four new product ranges: spectacles and diagnostics for vision care, braille typewriters and other digital AT tools, visual communications aids to support inclusive education, and absorbent pads and undergarments for managing incontinence. 📉 Driving down prices for quality-assured AT products through effective negotiation and leading global tenders. 🦽 Building demand by working with communities and governments, ensuring more children and families know about the life-changing assistive products available to them. With appropriate AT, children can live healthy, productive, independent, and dignified lives. #ForEveryChild, assistive technology

The powerful earthquake in #Myanmar left millions of children and families in fragile conditions, with limited access to safe water, healthcare and shelter. UNICEF, with the vital support of EU in Emergencies has flown 80 tonnes of life-saving supplies from our global supply hub in Copenhagen to Myanmar. We are delivering emergency health kits, medical supplies, tents and recreation kits. We are also moving additional supplies from the regional hub in Dubai and in-country supplies to meet the most urgent needs of children and communities affected by the earthquake.

A historic milestone for Uganda and the world! Uganda is leading the largest #malaria vaccine rollout globally, making it the 14th antigen in the country’s Routine Immunization Program. This is a game-changer in the fight against malaria, which remains one of the leading causes of illness and death among children. UNICEF is proud to support Ministry of Health-Uganda in ensuring every eligible child receives this life-saving vaccine. Alongside other malaria prevention efforts, this rollout will help protect more children and save countless lives. This is a step closer to a malaria-free future, #ForEveryChild 💙💉 #InvestInUGchildren #VaccinesWork #MalariaVaccineUG #EndMalaria

This earthquake is another brutal blow to children in Myanmar, many of whom are already living through conflict, displacement and deprivation. According to official figures, more than 1,600 people have been killed and over 3,400 injured—many of them children. Homes, schools, hospitals, and critical infrastructure have sustained severe damage. Landslides and collapsed roads have left many communities without electricity and mobile connectivity. Many families already surviving in fragile conditions now face even greater hardship, with limited access to safe water, healthcare and shelter. As part of its initial response, UNICEF is mobilizing 80 metric tons of life-saving supplies, including health kits, medical supplies, tents, and hygiene kits such as soap, sanitary pads, and disinfectants, for immediate delivery to children and families in desperate need. “Children in Myanmar are enduring a crisis on top of a crisis. UNICEF is scaling up our life-saving work, and the international community is responding, but more resources are urgently needed to save and protect the lives of children and their families. At the same time, we need safe, rapid and unhindered humanitarian access to affected areas so we can assist those in desperate need.” - UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell.

The devastation caused by the earthquake in Myanmar is widespread. Critical infrastructure including power lines, commercial properties, and community facilities lie in ruins. UNICEF is working with partners to assess and respond to the needs of affected children and families. Children face increased vulnerability in the aftermath of disasters. And children in Myanmar are already vulnerable to the ongoing violence and humanitarian crisis. UNICEF is on the ground but we can’t do it alone.
