The CCP Project, established in 1990, serves as the central procurement mechanism for Missions to purchase high quality contraceptives, condoms, and other essential public health supplies. The CCP Project also administers the Commodity Fund, which serves to increase condom availability and use by making condoms for HIV prevention free of charge to nonfocus programs. Since 2006, CCP also has provided other essential public health pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, and medical equipment at the request of Missions.
Services Provided
The CCP Project takes orders based on forecasts from individual Missions and consolidates those needs into large multiprogram procurements. CCP utilizes the USAID | DELIVER PROJECT, an Indefinite Quantity Contract awarded to John Snow, Inc., to provide technical assistance and procure contraceptives and condoms, as well as essential public health supplies and equipment and warehousing and freight services to U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID)-supported health programs worldwide. To place an order please use the contraceptive and condom order form. [PDF, 360KB]
FHI 360 provides overall quality control and testing of the commodities procured by the USAID | DELIVER PROJECT for the CCP Project as part of an agreement with the Office of HIV/AIDS.

A wide variety of project publications, presentations, and technical tools are available for download from the USAID | DELIVER PROJECT website including:
