Prepositioning of Dignity kits and interagency reproductive health kits. UNFPA aims to enhance the provision of essential items and services to reduce the risk of maternal/ neonatal mortality and morbidity among the affected population, per the Minimum Initial Services Package (MISP) for Sexual and Reproductive Health care. This is achieved by supporting the targeted localities for SHF with following interventions: 

1) Prepositioning inter-agency reproductive health kits and midwifery kits, these supplies facilitate the continuity of lifesaving as well as essential services such as safe and clean deliveries, responding to emergency obstetric and neonatal care including caesarean section, post abortion care, neonatal resuscitation, provision of clinical management of rape, treatment of sexually transmitted diseases, family planning modern methods, and responding to pregnancy related complications. In total, 16 different types of kits will be procured under this grant from the already booked and available stock with UNFPA international vendors. Fast track procedure will be activated and the lead time for shipment to reach the country is one month on average after initiating the request upon approval of the proposal. Given the congestion in the port air freight will be considered to ensure timely receipt of the lifesaving supplies. The supplies target 67,800 beneficiaries in 16 states (and Abeyie) across 90 localities, the number of kits vary for each kit and for each State, depending on the need (see annexed distribution plan). UNFPA HAS pre-established agreement with the national medical supplies fund (NMSF), The kits will be pre-positioned in the state medical supplies fund warehouse (SMSF) because of the nature of the IARH kits which requires special storage conditions.
Requests from partners will be received through the UNFPA focal person, in close coordination with the health cluster and UNOCHA, distribution will be guided by the MISP standards and natures of emergencies in case of acute emergencies the requests will be processed within 24 - 48 hours. as indicated in the concept paper, UNFPA moderates the SRH standing agenda within the health cluster meetings, the SRH coordinator form UNFPA will receive all requests and provide the responses within the indicated period above.

2) Procurement and distribution of 16,000 Dignity kits as a part of the GBV response by SHF and GBV sub-sector members
The prepositioned supplies will be distributed to sector partners in the event of a new or deteriorating emergency based on their active presence at the ground and prioritizing SHF partners, humanitarian intervention needs, comparative advantages and coordinated interventions upon approval by the relevant sector coordinator and SHF. Requests from partners will be received through the UNFPA focal person, in close coordination with the GBV sub-sector and OCHA. Through UNFPA, SHF partners will access the pre-positioned dignity kits within 24-48 hours of having their request approved by SHF/GBV SS, therefore supporting a timely response in affected areas. All requests by SHF partners will follow a set mechanism endorsed by all partners, ensuring efficiency and effectiveness. 16,000 Dignity Kits will serve for 16,000 women and girls.
