The procurement of strategic supplies is the cornerstone of the Supply Division’s role in advancing the Millennium Development Goals and UNICEF’s mandate. In 2007, UNICEF supplied vaccines reaching 55 per cent of the world’s children, antiretroviral medicines for 56 countries, and remained one of the largest buyers of mosquito nets and oral hydration salts for children and infants in the world. Over 12 million children went back to school in 2007 with the support of UNICEF educational supplies. UNICEF also assisted 66 countries to respond to emergencies through the timely supply of essential commodities. In addition, UNICEF provided procurement services to a value of $ 671 million in almost 100 countries for essential commodities for children and their families.
The main highlights of the report are also available in a summarised version as Facts and Figures.
