Regional Prepositioning Initiative - Phase 2
Phase 2 Results
2016-2020
The Regional Prepositioning Initiative supports humanitarian preparedness across the Asia Pacific region to ensure that the lifesaving needs of women and girls in humanitarian crises are met by governments and stakeholders through regional and national prepositioning of essential supplies such as reproductive health kits, dignity kits and tents.
The innovative approach has been transformative in supporting faster and more effective responses, building local capacity, streamlining procurement processes, strengthening partnerships and setting a new standard for inclusive humanitarian response.
