Thank you for shaping the future of UNGM! By responding to the supplier survey, you helped us better understand the challenges suppliers face and where we should focus our efforts to improve the UNGM experience. This year, over 5K suppliers completed the survey, an increase of 16.4% compared to 2022. This continued level of engagement provides us with invaluable insights to guide the future development of the platform. Among other things, what did we learn? 📌 Suppliers want to spend less time searching and more time preparing competitive bids. 📌 Finding the most relevant procurement opportunities quickly remains one of the biggest challenges, highlighting the need for smarter search, better filtering and more personalised recommendations. 📌 There is growing interest in AI-powered capabilities that can simplify procurement. ✍️ We take note of this, and we will continue building a platform that is more relevant, intelligent and proactive, so you can identify opportunities faster and engage more effectively with the United Nations procurement community. Thank you once again for taking the time to share your experience. Your feedback is helping us build a better UNGM for suppliers around the world! Note: Would you like to learn more about the findings from the survey? 👀 #UNGM #SupplierSurvey #DigitalTransformation

As the United Nations progresses with the UN80 Initiative, collaboration and efficiency have become more crucial than ever. This is precisely why The United Nations Global Marketplace (UNGM) is so important. As the common procurement portal for the UN system, the UNGM platform is vital for enhancing both efficiency and collaboration: 🔗 By centralizing procurement, we eliminate duplicated efforts across numerous UN agencies, ensuring that we operate as a unified body. 📈 Transparent and streamlined processes allow us to make every dollar go further, enabling us to achieve more with limited resources. 🌍 UNGM bridges the gap between UN staff and the global supplier community. Addressing the world's biggest challenges requires innovative suppliers from every corner of the globe. Together, we can create a greater impact for people and the planet.

"With less than five years remaining to achieve the Goals, the report provides a candid assessment of progress: meaningful gains have been made across the SDGs, but they remain uneven and insufficient in the face of serious headwinds— from escalating conflicts, slowing global economic growth, climate change, rising debt burdens and declining official development assistance. Without a decisive push to rapidly scale up proven solutions, the promise of the 2030 Agenda risks slipping out of reach." The 2026 Sustainable Development Goals Report has been released: https://lnkd.in/gurhQWdp
