The Supply Initiative has introduced a "text-only" version of its web site, available at
http://www.rhsupplies.org/textonly/index.html. This simple
low-technology web site is easy to print out and only needs a fraction
of the time to load.
The Supply Initiative: Meeting the Need for Reproductive Health Supplies
has a mission is to ensure that every man and woman, regardless of age,
can exercise his/her right to choose, obtain, and use quality affordable
reproductive health supplies. World-wide there is a life-threatening
dearth of contraceptives, condoms, HIV testing kits and other essential
supplies needed to provide quality family planning and sexual and
reproductive health services.
Inadequate funding and declining donor trends, lack of government
co-ordination at the international and national levels, deficient
information exchange on the demand and supply and weak delivery systems
in developing countries are at the source of this crisis. As a result,
only an eighth of the currently needed reproductive health supplies have
sufficient funding.
