Dear Mr. Aparicio

Many thanks for your e-mail and follow up on needed commodities to strengthen COVID19 national response. Much appreciated! I’ve contacted colleagues at UNICEF to obtain the list mentioned in your e-mail. This is not our latest submission but what was considered feasible with UN support (Please find attached e-mail communication with UNICEF). In addition I am sending the list with all needed items developed by the ministry a couple of weeks ago.

Should you have additional questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

With kind regards

პატივისცემით,

Hello Dr. Gabunia,

We heard from UNICEF yesterday that the Ministry had submitted an updated assistance request to them?  Is there any chance you can send me that updated request?  Department of State is making a pot of funds available and we would like to examine the list as soon as possible.  Thank you!

Best,

Juan José Aparicio | Political Officer
