HELP Logistics

Humanitarian actors today face a multitude of operational and environmental risks that can result in supply chain disruptions. Building resilient supply chains is key to ensuring the availability of life-saving commodities and begins with understanding the operating environment and the contextual factors that make them susceptible to disruptions.

Alia is a key contributor to the thought leadership that is shaping future humanitarian supply chains and will introduce the tools and methodologies developed by HELP Logistics for the benefit of the humanitarian community. Including the Supply Chain Resilience (SCR) tool, an approach to simulate potential disruptions to humanitarian supply chains that can empower organizations to enhance supply chain resilience proactively.

These insights inform the creation of data-driven supply strategies that offer a roadmap for organizations to mitigate risks, reduce disruptions, and ensure aid reaches vulnerable populations, even in the most challenging environments.
