How can UNICEF keep prices so low for many of the Gifts of Magic, for example the bed net?
UNICEF globally procures high volumes of products directly from manufacturers for its programme work in the field. This enables us to obtain low prices. Procurement of mosquito nets which protect children from malaria is just one example, with UNICEF procuring 18 million nets in 2007 alone, making us one of the world’s largest buyers.
