Disease, malnutrition, lack of clean water and sanitation, conflict and natural disasters continue to cost children their lives. Vital to the continued efforts of UNICEF in combating this situation and helping meet the Millennium Development Goals is the availability and timely delivery of thousands of items including vaccines, medicines, nutritional supplies, and education, water and sanitation products. In 2008, we continued to employ strategies to ensure the necessary focus on essential commodities that have the highest impact on under-five child mortality. Through improved systems, more accurate forecasting, integration with programmes, implementing partners and suppliers, Supply is committed to ensuring the global availability of these goods. But availability is just one part of the equation. Priority is also being placed on ensuring these commodities actually reach children efficiently. This dual commitment to ensuring global availability of supplies and their local delivery is a core thread that runs throughout the 2008 Supply Annual Report. The report also highlights a number of Supply’s key achievements across the year and ongoing focuses and commitments for 2009 and beyond, as well as detailed lists of suppliers, supplier countries and where supplies are used.
