This Working Group aims to strengthen the global, regional, and country systems needed to ensure reliable and predictable reproductive health (RH) supplies. It works to ensure that these systems are better aligned, more data-driven, and more coordinated.
Topics included under the Working Group are the identification, design, and implementation of new funding mechanisms for RH supplies, as well as better systems for forecasting, warehousing, distribution, and information management.
