What is the purpose of UNICEF Procurement Services?
As part of its global mandate for child rights, UNICEF uses its knowledge, expertise and integrity to provide children with the appropriate supplies and services they require. Through Procurement Services, governments and non-profit organizations can use and learn from UNICEFs procurement expertise in their own efforts to help children. In this way, more children are reached, and the capacity of national supply systems is built up. Cooperating with partners also gives UNICEF a more effective voice to advocate on childrens behalf, and adds scale and impact to UNICEF-supported country programmes.
