The EP procures socially marketed condoms for private sector distribution, and generic condoms for the

public sector.

In FY 2007, the EP supported the procurement of an estimated 13 million socially marketed condoms. In

FY 2006, the CCP supplied three million free condoms for the public sector that allowed for a carryover in

supply of condoms for FY 2007. The EP collaborated closely with GFATM and UNFPA to take into account

the carryover and ensure the availability of condoms throughout Rwanda in FY 2007.

In FY 2008, the EP will support the procurement of an estimated 14.5 million condoms for the public and

private sector. The EP will continue to work closely with GFATM and UNFPA to ensure the availability of

condoms. The CCP is a key partner in condom procurement; however, the targets for distribution and

outreach will be attributed to EP partners providing direct services. As a result, there are no direct targets

for this mechanism.

As part of the Rwanda strategic plan, private sector condoms will be socially marketed by the EP partners.

Public sector condoms will be managed by the GOR, with quantification and logistical TA provided by

DELIVER.

These activities will increase the availability and accessibility of condoms by expanding the number of

community-based condom distribution outlets. Purchasing condoms supports the ABC approach outlined in

the Rwanda EP five-year strategy.
