Supply chain management

Supply chain management

UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency - A UNHCR staff and an airport worker unload the cargo of a Dubai Royal Wings Boeing 747 jet after it landed at Entebbe International Airport in Uganda with 100 tons of emergency aid supplies on board.

Four years of historic rains in this region of South Sudan have submerged farmlands, ancestral homes and roads, turning Bentiu into an island. Some 360,000 people have fled here due to the floods. They now live in IDP sites below the waterline, hemmed in by dikes.

UNHCR’s Division of Emergency, Security and Supply (DESS) comprises the Procurement Service (PS) and the Supply Management and Logistics Service (SMLS).

These are responsible for global supply chain management, operational support, planning and reporting on the use of resources.

This includes the procurement of goods and services to support field operations and headquarter provision of logistical support to field operations, warehouse, stockpile, and fleet and asset management.

The department oversees all supply aspects of the enterprise resource planning system and supports roll-out to the field. It also provides functional (supply chain management) training and support.
