83. 在津巴布韦、南苏丹和赤道几内亚，开发署与监管机构和制造商合作，减少抗逆转录病毒药物的包装。由于使用新包装，每个集装箱的运输能力增加了 55%，包装废物减少了 29%，二氧化碳排放量减少了 57%。通过减少包装和改进采购规划，自 2016 年以来共节省了 820 万美元，节省的资金正被重新投入到医疗保健领域。开发署目前正努力向其他国家和更多产品类别推广这项举措。
83. In Zimbabwe, South Sudan and Equatorial Guinea, UNDP has worked with regulators and manufacturers to reduce packaging for antiretroviral medication. New packaging has resulted in a 55 per cent increase in shipping capacity per container, 29 per cent less packaging waste, and a 57 per cent reduction in CO2 emissions. Together with other measures to improve procurement planning, the reduced packaging initiative has generated savings of $8.2 million since 2016, which is being reinvested in health care. UNDP is now working to expand this initiative to other countries and a wider range of products.
