🏷️ Branded vs General Procurement

Not every item required branding. Alongside the MONUSCO-branded merchandise shown above, the program also covered general-use and workplace supplies procured per individual UN tender requirements — for example sanitation materials, workwear and operational equipment. Those items are reflected in our tender participation records rather than shown as branded product photos, because they were supplied without mission logos.

🎨 Custom Branding

UN emblem and MONUSCO / MONUSCO Gender Office / MONUSCO-CDT markings were applied by printing and embroidery, produced against the mission's brand-color specification. Pantone references were used to match the mission's corporate colors.
