UNICEF Somalia Completed a survey on a ready-to-use therapeutic food (RUTF) Leakage and Misuse in Somalia. In response to the spotted sale of RUTF in the markets, UNICEF implemented targeted strategies in 2023 that included reduction of RUTF distribution from one carton to 0.8 cartons per child, based on the evidence of RUTF consumption and in keeping with the standard treatment protocol. In addition, the extra 10 per cent buffer supply given to partners was minimized. UNICEF also shifted to only give RUTF supplies to partners with signed agreements, thus increasing accountability. Furthermore, a digital solution is planned to be rolled out in 2024 to increase partner capacity in supply management. This initiative is set to significantly enhance UNICEF's efforts to scale-up the monitoring of supply distributions at the beneficiary level ensuring accurate data records.
The Supply Assistant is responsible for assisting the uninterrupted supply of affordable and good quality supplies and services, adapted to the particular context and through compliance with UNICEF’s policies, procedures and ethics standards.
