Framework Agreements in Humanitarian Settings: Unlocking Efficiency and Managing Trade-Offs

In this technical discussion, we will look at the advantages and disadvantages of using framework agreements for the procurement of pharmaceutical and medical commodities in humanitarian contexts. Speakers Nikola Usenovic, International Medical Corps, and Mohamed Kassas, International Organization for Migration, will explore how framework contracts can streamline procurement processes, foster supplier relationships, and drive strategic goals such as sustainability and innovation, while balancing trade-offs and priorities.
