| dc.description | Global health operations depend on efficient, transparent procurement systems to ensure the timely delivery of essential goods and services supporting public health programmes and emergency responses. This report presents an overview of procurement activities undertaken by the World Health Organization in 2025, situating them within a context of financial constraints, evolving operational priorities and post-pandemic adjustment, and contributing to institutional transparency and accountability. It describes procurement governance, guiding principles and organizational arrangements, alongside detailed statistical analyses of procurement volume, categories, suppliers and regional distribution. The report examines trends such as the continued decline in procurement levels following the COVID-19 peak, the predominance of service-related procurement, and the increasing role of regional and country-level operations. It also outlines mechanisms including catalogue purchasing, collaborative procurement within the United Nations system, and supplier engagement, while highlighting measures adopted to contain costs and prioritize essential activities. Intended for Member States, partners, suppliers and other stakeholders, the document supports informed decision-making on WHO procurement practices and their contribution to global health objectives. | |
