Speaker session
What can donors do to support a more effective and efficient humanitarian supply chain?
Studio
The humanitarian community has long recognised the need to update its approach to logistics to support a more efficient and effective delivery of aid, and to reduce the carbon footprint and environmental damage of aid delivery, in line with the Do No Harm principle. This session will focus on the role of donors in supporting a more efficient and effective humanitarian response; the greening of humanitarian aid; and in raising the profile of humanitarian logistics. It should foster a discussion on the interest for donors to invest on logistics, the best practices and potential ways forward to enhance a paradigm shift in the sector.
