UNICEF Supply

In rural and emergency settings, pregnant women often receive only the basic two-nutrient tablets, if they receive a nutritional supplement at all. To help close this gap, UNICEF delivers Multiple Micronutrient Supplements (MMS). Each tablet contains 15 essential nutrients, to support the healthy development of babies and prevent nutritional deficiencies. So far this year, UNICEF has delivered enough MMS to support over 8 million pregnant women.   UNICEF is grateful that MMS has been recognized by TIME Magazine as one of The Best Inventions of 2025! Congratulations to all partners for this valuable recognition of the work we have done together to tackle a major health inequity: United Nations University, Kirk Humanitarian, World Health Organization and partners in academia and the public sector. UNICEF maintains high quality standards with suppliers to make sure MMS products are robust and safe. UNICEF also works with governments to train local health workers and strengthen supply chains, both of which are crucial to reaching pregnant women with MMS.   🔗 Click the link to see MMS featured in TIME’s Best Inventions of 2025: https://lnkd.in/eX-5mU8t   📦 Stay up to date on the delivery of Multiple Micronutrient Supplements (MMS): https://lnkd.in/d3TXnp2N

Haiti’s children are facing a crisis. ⭕ The number of children displaced by violence has almost doubled in the past year, with 680,000 now uprooted from their homes. Many have fled multiple times, losing access not only to their homes, but to education, healthcare, and basic services as well. UNICEF continues to support displaced families with essential supplies and services and is calling for urgent international support to protect and assist these children. https://lnkd.in/dxnZuTJc

The ceasefire in Gaza provides hope for children and a crucial chance to massively scale up the delivery of life-saving supplies. 🚚 UNICEF has more than 1,300 trucks ready to bring in lifesaving supplies for children and their families: nutrition items, essential medicines and vaccines, and water and sanitation supplies. More supplies are also on the way from UNICEF’s global supply hubs in Copenhagen and Dubai. https://lnkd.in/dvrzRrka

Did you know that protecting children from polio begins before the start of the vaccination campaign? It requires secure access to affordable and safe vaccines, the construction of cold chain infrastructure, as well as cold boxes and syringes to make the campaign possible. Watch this video to learn how children in Mozambique are being protected against polio.

Today saw the successful conclusion of the last in a series of thematic workshops of the Humanitarian Leadership Group on Supply Chain (HLGSC), held at the UNICEF Global Supply Hub in Copenhagen.    Convened by the European Commission’s DG ECHO EU in Emergencies, and co-led by UNICEF, International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies - IFRC, and Danish Refugee Council / Dansk Flygtningehjælp, the event brought together representatives from the private, public, academic and humanitarian sectors. Participants co-developed a vision for future-ready humanitarian supply chains, and practical recommendations focused on boosting preparedness, and strengthening ownership in national systems.    The outcomes of this series of thematic HLGSC workshops will inform a high-level meeting to be held in Brussels in December, aimed at securing commitments to strengthen humanitarian supply chains to deliver faster, fairer and more effective support to crisis-affected communities.
