Safe lubricants for all - Procurement specifications for lubricants used with male and female condoms (Technical brief)

Number of pages: 25

Publication date: 31 May 2022

Author: UNFPA

The lack of global specifications for safe and non-toxic personal lubricants led UNFPA and partners to develop guidance for professionals who produce, procure and distribute these products for reproductive health programmes.

This publication presents the World Health Organization/United Nations Population Fund specifications for plain lubricants to be used with male and female condoms, and addresses issues raised in the global consultation on personal lubricants convened by UNFPA, as well as key concepts and terminology.

Joint evaluation of the UN Joint Programme on AIDS’s work on efficient and sustainable financing

The Evaluation Offices of UNAIDS and UNFPA, in collaboration with WFP, have jointly managed an independent evaluation of the UNAIDS Joint Programme’s contribution to efficient and sustainable financing for the AIDS response.

The evaluation finds that the Joint Programme has made important contributions to improving allocative and technical efficiency of the AIDS response. In countries, UNAIDS convening power, political advocacy and role as a neutral broker directly contribute to Global Fund and PEPFAR funding processes and domestic commitments to HIV.

The Joint Programme's inclusiveness of civil society, community-based organizations and key populations has directly contributed to funding key population services and community-led responses. However, more is needed to strengthen their capacity to engage in the financing agenda.

The evaluation recommends the Joint Programme to create a common vision and improve coordination with regard to the integration of HIV financing within the wider health and Universal Health Coverage financing agenda. Allocative and technical efficiency, particularly focused on domestic financing, should be a priority for the Joint Programme going forward.
