UNFPA Supplies SDP Survey

About UNFPA Supplies SDP Survey Android App

The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) is a subsidiary organ of the General Assembly of the United Nations in terms of Article 22 of the Charter of the United Nations.

UNFPA Supplies, formerly known as the Global Programme to Enhance Reproductive Health Commodity Security (GPRHCS) requires beneficiary countries globally to conduct annual Service Delivery Point (SDP) Stock out Surveys.

Currently, the survey is being conducted in 46 countries and has been expanded to cover both the availability of RH commodities and salient aspects of service delivery facilities that underpin good RH programs. In addition to assessing the availability and stock out of RH commodities, the survey addresses supply chain (including cold chain); staff training and supervision; availability of guidelines and protocols, Information Communication Technology, method of waste disposal and user fees. In addition, the survey also obtains the views of clients about the services.

The survey has three main areas of focus:

• Module 1: availability of commodities
• Module 2: facility resources
• Module 3: exit interview

The reports of these surveys are very useful to assess the reach of commodities in recipient countries as well as an advocacy for more resources. Opting for the automated solution was to enable a faster implementation and to evaluate / realize the survey benefits.
