FP2020, through the work of its former Market Dynamics Working Group, has published Assessing Misalignments in the Procurement of Contraceptives: Improving Procurement Practices to Achieve the Goals of FP2020, a report that aims to improve the practices that characterize the family planning procurement market. The report features results of a questionnaire on procurement priorities and findings from an analysis of tendering documents. It also highlights the need to simplify request-for-proposal (RFPs) processes, harmonize and encourage use of joint RFPs, and incentivize product registration, among other recommendations.
