Logistics Cluster
For two decades, the Logistics Cluster has supported nearly every major humanitarian response - uniting 1,150+ partners to save lives in 2025. Bringing emergency responders together to share information and resources and streamline logistics, creates a multiplier effect. Working together, the whole is far greater than the sum of its parts - the Logistics Cluster combines the voices of all emergency responders to turn shared challenges into action—amplifying impact, unlocking access, and driving system wide solutions that no single actor could achieve alone.
Emergency Preparedness Programme
Recent studies show that supply chain accounts for an average of 73% of humanitarian response costs1 , and other research confirms that by increasing preparedness efforts we can save vital costs – for every $1 spent in preparedness, we can save $7 in response costs2 . By leveraging the World Food Programme’s logistics and supply chain expertise, the Logistics Cluster Emergency Preparedness programme enables national and regional emergency actors to lead, with the skills and tools to coordinate humanitarian operations. Strengthening national capacity in this way ensures locally led, contextualised response and reduces international mobilisation.
The Logistics Cluster works with national and regional systems, placing national actors at the heart of the framework. This is done through:
• Strengthening National Capacity: Creating an enabling environment for system strengthening connected to the WFP Country Strategic Plan.
• Enhancing Logistics Coordination: Designing or improving coordination mechanism, information managements, access to tools and partner's support.
• Empowering Locally Led Responses: Enabling national actors to lead and reducing reliance on international support.
