In 2020, we implemented our first procurement guarantee. A $50 million guarantee from MedAccess enabled UNICEF to accelerate access to essential COVID-19 supplies in 55 low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and to non-COVID supplies, such as childhood vaccines, in 26 LMICs.
The impact of our two existing volume guarantees – with Hologic and BASF – increased in 2020, benefitting hundreds of thousands of people.
We screen all potential guarantees for development impact using our Development Impact framework.
