About the Regional Revolving Funds

The PAHO Regional Revolving Funds (RRFs) are technical cooperation mechanisms that enable countries in the Americas to access quality medicines, vaccines, and public health supplies at affordable prices in a timely and transparent manner. Their main objective is to reduce economic and logistical barriers that impede access to essential treatments, including quality medicines and technologies for diabetes care. 

Through the Regional Revolving Funds, The PAHO:

1. Advises countries on the joint procurement of essential supplies, including medicines and technologies.
2. Promotes transparency, efficiency, and quality in procurement processes.
3. Strengthens national capacities to ensure a continuous and equitable supply.

Since their inception, the Regional Revolving Funds have been a vital instrument for guaranteeing access to health supplies in the Americas. They have been key in the fight against HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis, and have directly contributed to improving immunization, reducing maternal and infant mortality, and eradicating polio, among other advances. The PAHO Regional Revolving Funds are an essential tool for improving health and well-being in the Americas. They help countries ensure that everyone has access to the health supplies they need. More information about the fund.
