The USAID | DELIVER PROJECT , working with national and international partners, increases the availability of essential health supplies to clients and customers around the world. The project designs, develops, strengthens, and operates safe, sustainable, and reliable supply systems. These systems provide a range of affordable, quality health commodities, including drugs, diagnostics, and supplies, to clients in country programs. The project's technical support strengthens all aspects of in-country supply chains, including forecasting, procurement, distribution, management information systems, quality assurance, storage and infrastructure, and medical waste disposal.

Our motto—No Product, No Program—is a reminder that health programs cannot operate successfully without a full supply of essential commodities. The project works on a wide range of health commodities, including:

  • Family planning
  • HIV/AIDS
  • Laboratories
  • Malaria
  • Avian influenza
  • Essential drugs

The project seeks to strengthen supply systems for all essential health commodities and create environments in which they can be sustained.
