UNDP Key Achievements in introducing Sustainable Procurement in the Health Sector
UNDP RBEC HIV, Health and Development team
The UNDP RBEC HIV, Health and Development team seeks to increase capacity to make multi-sectoral regional and national responses to communicable and non-communicable diseases more effective, efficient and equitable in the context of sustainable development.
Focus areas of work:
• Strengthening HIV responses with a strong focus on key populations at higher risk of HIV
• II. Addressing the social, economic and environmental determinants (SEEDS) of health and health equity
• III. Strengthening national responses to ensure a multi-sectoral response to non-communicable diseases (NCDs)
• IV. Better understanding and addressing the linkages between health and environment
SPHS Task Team is, through a transparent and inclusive engagement process, leveraging its normative and market power, lowering the
environmental impact of its procurement, with a final aim of improving human health and well-
being.

partners:Funding partners:
Objectives• Developing and implementing a
guidance note on an initial priority list of a green procurement criteria
• Developing a list of products that remove priority toxic chemicals from production, products and waste
• Engaging with suppliers and manufacturers of pharmaceuticals and medical devices to stimulate the development of greener products and manufacturing processes, subsequently reducing the environmental burden of the health sector
Outcomes• Initial priority list of green
procurement criteria and the monitoring of their implementation
• Recommendations on specifications and how to evaluate and select healthcare products based on the established green procurement criteria
• Assessment of the environmental footprint from UNDP purchased health care products based on three environmental pillars: Carbon Footprint, Toxicity and Resource Depletion
• Effective phase-in of the green procurement criteria through a multi-stakeholder engagement process
International Environmental Conventions on Chemicals
This novel and unique tool will allow procurement practitioners to measure and monitor the status and progress of healthcare procurement related to the compliance with International environmental Conventions
The indicators proposed as part of this guide are intended to serve as a building block of the GPIH and the compliance with International environmental Conventions might be considered as one of the pillars for the development of the Index

Country specific recommendations and monitoring on their implementation
“This was motivating initiative that triggered additional effort of our HIV PMU (in UNDP BiH CO) to further develop one comprehensive Project Proposal (attached) dealing with Sustainable Management of Medical Waste in BiH”

Sustainable public health procurement trainings for UNDP CosTo capacitate policy makers and public procurers operating in the health sector to develop sustainable procurement policies and strategies, integrate sustainable practices into healthcare procurement processes and monitor the implementation of sustainable public healthcare procurement at a national level, aligned with the national targets for the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals.
Capacity Building
1st Saving Lives Sustainably: Asia Forum – Sustainable Manufacturing in the Health SectorBangkok, Thailand, 1st – 3rd November, 2017
Capacity Building
UNDP, and UNFPA, with the support of the SPHS Secretariat, are organizing the first ‘Saving Lives Sustainably - Asia Forum 2016’, to bring together technical experts, suppliers and manufacturers from across the global healthcare industry.
The aim is to exchange the knowledge and practice on the latest sustainable production techniques, share concrete examples of the benefits and savings brought by sustainable manufacturing, and develop a “Catalogue of good practices in sustainable healthcare manufacturing” on how manufacturers can implement changes that can simultaneously generate positive social, environmental and financial benefits.
