Together with of the world, propelling the organization to the front lines of an emergency response of historic magnitude. We have collectively witnessed the speed at which a virus can change the world. COVID-19 has cost lives and battered health partners, UNICEF leveraged its strengths systems. It has disrupted markets and devastated economies. It has damaged livelihoods and upended childhoods. The to continue sourcing, procuring and pandemic also brought with it a series of hugely complex supply and logistics challenges. The UNICEF Supply Function was delivering life-saving supplies, despite tested like never before, yet its commitment, resilience and drive were never more evident. the magnitude of the COVID-19 crisis.” Extraordinary magnitude In 2020 the value of the goods and services that UNICEF procured on behalf of countries rose to its highest in the Henrietta H. Fore organization’s history: $4.468 billion. Driven in part by the exponential demand for COVID-19 related supply items, this figure represented a nearly 17 per cent increase compared to 2019, and a 27 per cent increase since 2016. UNICEF Executive Director But numbers alone cannot do justice to the ingenuity and perseverance of the teams behind these efforts, even in the most pressing circumstances. Staff who not only maintained regular operations but devised creative and flexible solutions as never before to address the steep and unprecedented challenges related to COVID-19. Extraordinary ingenuity As the COVID-19 pandemic evolved, so did the challenges. Each day brought new complexities, ranging from soaring demand and prices for supplies to border closures, export bands and disrupted global freight capacity. Month after month, our teams addressed these emerging challenges with innovative strategies and solutions. Among the many key highlights, we: ϐ Led a collaborative joint tender on behalf of 13 agencies, pooling technical and commercial expertise to establish long- term arrangements (LTAs) for quality personal protective equipment (PPE) ϐ Convened a landmark logistics industry consultation to align stakeholders around a logistics strategy for the COVID-19 response ϐ Devised solutions to maintain deliveries of vaccines for routine immunization, such as multi-stop charter flights using a single aircraft to deliver vaccines to hard-to-reach countries ϐ Championed local production of quality PPE in South Asia to expand options for local sourcing ϐ Scaled up an oxygen therapy project to deliver oxygen equipment for COVID-19 patients around the world ϐ Became the first United Nations agency to distribute COVID-19 tests at scale, drawing on our role as a global leader in the procurement of disease diagnostics ϐ Leveraged decades of experience in vaccine procurement and logistics to assume the role of lead Procurement Agency for the COVAX Facility ϐ Established a landmark charter, together with the World Economic Forum, signed by CEOs of 18 airline and logistics companies pledging support to UNICEF and the COVAX Facility Extraordinary collaboration The COVID-19 response has truly been an ‘all-hands-on-deck’ effort across the entire organization and across the many partners and private sector stakeholders who have come together to support UNICEF in taking forward the largest supply and logistics response in history. As we face the continued threat of variants, we must ensure all countries have equitable access to supplies to fight the pandemic regardless of their ability to pay. So much work remains as the world faces the unfolding challenges of the pandemic. But the solution is among us. We must navigate forward collectively and in solidarity – for solutions for both the short and longer term – and to build back better in this changing landscape and to make a post-pandemic world a reality for all.

  • Tacsi for Maryan (Aryette) Omar Ali
    Tacsi for Maryan (Aryette) Omar Ali Lidwien Kapteijns Inna lillah wa inna ilayhi raji’un Maryan (Aryette) Omar Ali —a life dedicated to Somali popular song On December 7, 2011, Maryan Omar Ali, also known to people as Ary- ette, passed away in the McCall Medical Center in Etobicoke, Canada. She had struggled with breast cancer for many years. Born in Djibouti before its independence in 1977, Maryan and her mother, Sahra Omer Goud, moved to Somalia when Maryan was very young. They lived and worked in, among other places, Hargeisa, Jow- har, and Mogadishu. Maryan attended school in Hargeisa and Jowhar (the Mennonite school). However, while she was still a teenager, she managed to join Somali Airlines, first as a stewardess and later as a cashier and office manager. For a time she also returned to Djibouti, where she worked for Air Djibouti. In 1991 Maryan came to Canada. She lived in Ottawa for four years and then moved to Toronto.1 Somali popular songs were Maryan’s life-long love. She had been introduced to the Somali theater and songs in Hargeisa in the early 1960s by her uncle, Hassan Sheikh Muumin. She grew up around the singers, spending much of her time with them in their work and living space. Maryan was among the first Somalis to see the social as well as intellectual and artistic value of the songs and plays, the social commentary and critique they embodied, and the ways in which they helped bring about political and social change. From the time she was a young girl until her death, Maryan cherished the songs; was a friend and support for many singers; and organized, documented, and stud- ied the music cassettes she accumulated.
