Examples of implementation and impact
The purpose of this report is to provide an initial assessment of how support from donor countries, including those where Countdown 2030 Europe (C2030E) works, is contributing to the UNFPA Supplies Partnership, and the value to sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) of the funding in these first three years of implementation of Phase III (see below) of the UNFPA Supplies Partnership programme.
The research intends to contribute towards strengthening the expertise and advocacy capacity on the value and contribution of the UNFPA Supplies Partnership in filling the gap of unmet need for contraceptive care. It aims to provide thoughtful insights into how the Partnership can continue to evolve and adapt to ensure long-term sustainability and impact.
Specifically, the report presents three in-depth country case studies (Ethiopia, Madagascar, and Nepal), offering insights into implementation, alignment with national systems, and the Partnership’s role in supporting supply security. It consolidates findings and good practices drawn from the case studies, with an emphasis on lessons learned from the introduction of the new financing models in Phase III.
The report also highlights proven solutions to improve access to sexual and reproductive health supplies. From Ethiopia to Nepal, successful practices include government co-financing, strong technical support, and creative funding models. Challenges such as persistent stockouts and missed opportunities with private partners are also addressed in this report. We ask for better collaboration across ministries, realistic budget targets, and a human rights focus. Eight clear recommendations chart the way toward lasting progress.
