The selection of medicines and diagnostics for use in Integrated Community Case Management (iCCM) programmes must take into consideration the needs of the target population (children), the interaction between the caregiver and the community health worker and the supply chain that will support interventions. Through the World Health Organization (WHO)/UNICEF Better Medicines for Children project, the UN Commission on Life Saving Commodities (UNoLSC): and other initiatives, UNICEF has advocated for the development and introduction of improved products to better fit programs, some of which are relevant for iCCM. This briefing note details the iCCM products available through UNICEF and provides key references for further information.
