Distribution

UNDP COs must ensure that good distribution practices, according to WHO GSDP, are implemented when health products are distributed through the supply chain up to the end user. To this effect, these requirements should be clearly outlined in the agreement or contract between UNDP CO and the entity managing the distribution (e.g., Sub-Recipient agreement with Central Medical Stores, service contract with private transport company).

The following concrete measures should be adopted:

• The use of direct routes to avoid long exposure to potentially harmful conditions, and
• The use of closed/covered vehicles to avoid direct exposure to sunlight and moisture/water.
