OVERVIEW
This document provides an overview of the logistics services to be made available through the Logistics Cluster, how humanitarian actors responding to the crisis in the Republic of Yemen may access these services, and the conditions under which these services are to be provided.
The objective of these services is to enable humanitarian organisations to establish an uninterrupted supply chain that supports the delivery of humanitarian relief items to the affected population. These services are not intended to replace the logistics capacities of responding organisations, nor are they meant to compete with the commercial market. Rather, they are intended to fill identified gaps and provide a last resort option in case other service providers are not available.
These services are planned to be available until 31 December 2018, with the possibility of further extension. The services may be withdrawn before this date in part or in full, for any of the following reasons:
-
Changes in the situation on the ground
-
No longer an agreed upon/identified need
-
Funding constraints In addition to the services described in the following sections, the Logistics Cluster in Yemen provides sea and air transport services. For information on how to access sea and air transport services, please consult the relevant Yemen SOPs, namely: Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) – Djibouti: Sea Transport, March 2018; Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) - Djibouti - Air Transport Services, March 2018.
This document will be updated, and services provided may change as the situation evolves and operational requirements develop. Updated versions will be shared on the Yemen operations page (http://logcluster.org/ops/yem10a) and shared via the mailing list.
