VAN CPG
The VAN Consensus Planning Group (VAN CPG) prevents and resolves contraceptive supply imbalances by convening procurers and funders to review data, coordinate shipments, and allocate resources across countries appropriately.

What We Do
The VAN CPG brings together major supply chain actors (including CHAI, UNFPA, JSI, WAHO, and RHSC) for better coordination between procurers and supply chain stakeholders. These partners share data, coordinate shipments, and allocate resources within and among countries to prevent contraceptive supply imbalances.
Issue Resolution and Coordination
The VAN CPG provides a forum for donors, procurers, and partners to discuss and solve supply-related issues that affect the availability of family planning products.
Data Analysis and Resource Optimization
The VAN CPG analyzes supply chain data to recommend actions, prioritize planned orders, and forecast future product demand to make the most of available resources.
Funding Gap Analysis
For countries sharing data with the VAN, the VAN CPG routinely quantifies the estimated gap between supply needs and available financing at a specific point in time. Select audiences receive funding gap analyses for resource mobilization.
See Our Work in Action
The VAN CPG are the people behind the VAN, analyzing the data, assessing the options, and making recommendations that result in action to prevent stockouts and promote product availability. See more about our work here.
