The Logistics Cluster activities aim to ensure that the humanitarian community has access to sufficient logistics capacities and to facilitate the uninterrupted supply of life saving relief items to the affected populations.
Common services provided to the humanitarian community by WFP, as the lead agency of the Logistics Cluster, are not intended to replace the logistics operations of individual organisations. The provision of common services is intended to fill identified gaps and maximize the utility of limited logistics resources within South Sudan.
The services here identified are offered to humanitarian organisations operating in the Republic of South Sudan until 31 December 2016, in part or in full, and may be suspended for any of the following reasons: changes in the humanitarian situation, funding constraints, need for prioritization, facilitation and/or coordination coming to an end.
Logistics Coordination and Information Management
Logistics Cluster coordination meetings are held fortnightly in Juba, Bor, Bentiu, Rumbek and Malakal. Coordination meetings in other key operational locations are held as deemed necessary. Information is disseminated through a dedicated mailing list and via the Logistics Cluster website. Key documents such as the Concept of Operations, Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), as well as GIS products are regularly updated and accessible through the Logistics Cluster website. Coordination meetings schedule and minutes are also available on the Logistics Cluster website: http://www.logcluster.org/ops/ssd11a
