Supply Chain Management
Providing supplies and facilities to people who need them the most.

It is often challenging to reach those who are most in need of essential services, whether due to natural disasters, conflict, or because market structures are weak or failing. For the past 30 years, PALLADIUM® has helped governments, NGOs, and businesses reach people with vital goods and services, from health and pharmaceutical products to emergency housing and life-saving equipment.

Our clients trust us to procure goods competitively and to provide full supply chain visibility from the producer to the last mile, leveraging the private sector and local players, while combining efficient systems and real-world experience to deliver life-changing benefits to end-users.
