Background
The Logistics Cluster facilitates the coordination of the logistics response in support of the humanitarian community in South Sudan. It also provides information management services to improve the decision making of humanitarian organisations in South Sudan. Where logistic gaps are identified, the WFP-led Logistics Cluster acts as a Provider of Last Resort by facilitating access to these common logistics services to support the humanitarian community in their operations.
