The market dashboard Inspired from UNITAID Market dynamics Dashboard The Dashboard monitors the market dynamics of more than 50 essential commodities for women and children. It provides a qualitative assessment of the determinants of a healthy market, including: Availability Affordability Competition Quality Acceptability Delivery Funding security http://www.unicef.org/supply/index_70578.html Published twice a year, aim is to encourage internal and collaborative thinking on ways to address gaps and achieve a more balanced market

ORS/Zinc co-pack: 3 LTAs established, first procurement of over 200K packs Chlohexidine 4% for umbilical cord care: collaboration through UNCLSC to increase number of manufacturers and qualify gel formulations. Amoxicillin DT: increase in demand and initiation of substitution of suspension Introduction of optimal products

Kit delivery Majority are health kits

Supply of commodities to manage sexual assault of children and women in the context of emergencies Challenges Forecasting the need Kit design not addressing diversity of situations where it is used (target, skills and care services) Repacking of kits at Country Office level to meet needs Split up kit contents to distribute to smaller health facilities Split up blisters/packs to dispense to patients Specific needs of children usually not taken care of, e.g. paediatric dosages Lack of specific Guidance PEP Children PEP Adults Wound Care Psychosocial Support Associated Conditions + Guidance Documents Proposed Response (for discussion with partners) Easy identification of the necessary items for management of sexual assault More flexibility in procurement of PEP for children Holistic response, Clear guidance Guidelines to be reviewed 2014 (WHO)

Consolidate regimens used Consolidate formulations used Ensure pediatric ART guidelines are up to date Identify regimens and products that can be phased out of formulary (eg. d4T, ddI) Review current procurement list for redundancies Explore areas for transition to optimal products such as FDCs and phase out suboptimal or redundant formulations Partnerships to ensure availability of optimal treatment for HIV in children Consolidate formulations used Coordinate pediatric ARV procurement amongst partners Align both supply and demand to more efficient products.

WHA endorsement in 2013 of Endgame Strategy require IPV introductions in 123 countries globally within 20 months

Sufficient supply secured to meet projected demand through UNICEF at affordable prices, but planning needed 20 countries requiring supply in 2014, with 7 planned introductions A total of 75 countries to introduce in this period, and two continuing countries 20 LMIC/MIC countries to continue or introduce sourcing through UNICEF Flexibility required with regards to product preferences, number of shipments per year, delivery of buffer stocks, month of introduction, registration requirements

UNICEF support to the tOPV/bOPV switch Global synchronized switch from tOPV to bOPV requires careful planning at global and country level Engagement with partners, countries, and industry to ensure smooth transition and no shortages of any product Protocols and strategies under development for operationalization of a switch

Vaccines stock monitoring and projection tool ViVa (Visibility for Vaccines) Enabling identification and communication of upcoming potential constraints linked to supply through graphs. From May to August 2014: Pilot phase with EPI in DRC, Niger and Senegal. Next: Feedback interest survey and decision on continuity and scaling-up.

2014 Activities Support to development and implementation of national supply chain strategies Global networking and collaboration (GAVI, Global Fund, RBM etc.) Communication strategy and advocacy tools to raise awareness internally and externally Research to increase understanding of national supply chain models and promising practices Guidelines for capacity development with a supply chain toolkit for COs and partners (including a SC health check and performance monitoring tools) Roster of consultants for technical assistance Support development of the supply community technical skills framework and professional development plan Develop the Global Learning Centre Strategy including the initial curriculum (starting with vaccines, bednets and nutrition) South to south exchanges

What does success look like in 2017? Increased use of national supply chains, from determination of need through to delivery to the last mile, across all programmes and including monitoring Increased number of countries actively implementing national supply chain strategies, led by government Strong networks created with increased collaboration, sharing and co-ordination in capacity development and supply chain systems strengthening initiatives at global, regional and country level At least 20 government supply chains strengthened and optimized for targeted products
