UNICEF Supply

Over the next three days, UNICEF Supply is hosting the annual Vaccine Industry Consultation (VIC) at the UNICEF Global Supply Hub in Copenhagen. This year’s consultation brings together vaccine industry representatives and global immunization partners to discuss key vaccine market updates, the immunization landscape and realities in a changing global geopolitical landscape and a resource-constrained environment. These discussion are crucial to effective planning and the sustained availability of life-saving vaccines for children. At UNICEF, we believe every child has the right to grow up healthy and have access to vaccines. By working with our partners in the vaccine industry, we are better able to deliver vaccines for preventive campaigns, outbreak responses and emergencies. Thereby protecting children from vaccine-preventable diseases.

UNICEF welcomes a change in UN Model Regulation to enable bulk packaging of insecticide-treated bed nets. Working together, UNICEF and World Health Organization, with support from The Global Fund, led the effort for this change.     It removes regulatory barriers and paves the way for lower product and delivery costs, while significantly reducing plastic waste in packaging — saving thousands of tons annually and safeguarding essential financial resources.    This regulatory change demonstrates how technical policy work can drive sustainability and impact at scale, leading to more efficient and greener delivery of essential supplies #ForEveryChild.  

A powerful 6.0-magnitude earthquake struck eastern Afghanistan on 31 August, leaving children and families in urgent need of life-saving support.    Today, the first of two flights carrying a total of 130 tons of emergency supplies arrived in Kabul, with the second expected tomorrow. Fully funded by European Commission (DG ECHO), the shipments include tents, medical supplies, clothing, hygiene kits, and safe water equipment — all delivered on two EU-funded humanitarian charter flights. This critical support enables UNICEF and partners to rapidly scale up emergency response, reaching families in Kunar, Nangarhar and neighbouring affected provinces with shelter, safe water, medical assistance and winter protection.    Thanks to the European Union for their solidarity and swift action in this urgent response. #UNICEF #ForEveryChild UNICEF Gulf

The powerful earthquake that hit eastern Afghanistan on Sunday has had a devastating effect on children and families, many of whom have lost homes and loved ones. In addition to the supplies already mobilized in Afghanistan, UNICEF, with the vital support of the European Union, is urgently airlifting 130 tons of emergency supplies from the UNICEF global supply hub in Copenhagen and from its satellite hub in Dubai.     We are delivering medicines and medical equipment, including for safe birth, as well as safe drinking water, sanitation, and female hygiene supplies, to meet the immediate needs of children and families in the earthquake zone. These shipments also include tents for establishing child-friendly spaces for children suffering from trauma, along with blankets and warm clothes to help children withstand the elements as cold nights set in. #ForEveryChild

Delivering vaccines in an active war zone is one of the most complex challenges in humanitarian logistics. In a new documentary, a team of humanitarians including UNICEF health worker Dr. Younis and field coordinator Fairuz embarks on a mission to vaccinate 600,000 children against polio, an urgent campaign made necessary by the destruction of over 80% of Gaza's health, water and sanitation infrastructure.
