43. 2015 年，人口基金采购处接触了一个成员国，寻求支持在一些已取得更大影响的国家进行的采购合作。这个理念是通过有效利用高管会采购网络统一小组开发的统一政策和共同工具来加大在国家一级的联合采购工作。采购处随后与联合国发展集团(发展集团)发展业务协调办公室(发展协调办)和联合国系统行政首长协调理事会(首协会)共同参加了这项倡议，并请各国提交创新建议，以加快合作型采购。人口基金采购处、发展集团和首协会正在联合审查和评价收到的建议；这三项建议将于 2015 年 11 月提交供甄选。
43. In 2015, the UNFPA Procurement Services Branch approached a Member State, seeking its support for procurement collaboration in select countries where a greater impact could be achieved. The idea was to increase joint procurement efforts at country level through the effective use of harmonized policies and common tools developed by the harmonization group of the HLCM-Procurement Network. The Procurement Services Branch then involved the Development Operations Coordination Office (DOCO) of the United Nations Development Group (UNDG) as well as the United Nations System Chief Executives Board for Coordination (CEB) in the initiative, and requested countries to submit innovative proposals to accelerate collaborative procurement. The UNFPA Procurement Services Branch, DOCO and CEB are jointly reviewing and evaluating the proposals received; the three best proposals will be presented for selection in November 2015.
