The USAID | DELIVER PROJECT launched a new website that contains real-time information about shipments of essential health commodities, such as family planning, malaria, avian influenza, and other health supplies procured by the project on behalf of USAID or by USAID’s central commodity procurement system.

This new section will also serve as the NEWVERN replacement (from the former DELIVER project) with many enhanced features for the tracking and monitoring of shipments.
