Supply chain management
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.
Dikes protect the main IDP (internally displaced persons) camp in Bentiu.

Guidelines and resources
At UNHCR we work with data and statistics, which are helping us to understand important information to save, protect and improve the lives of refugees, other forcibly displaced and stateless people. Based on good data, we can make informed decisions around our work and better plan for future operations. Data also allows us to demonstrate accountability to beneficiaries, governments, partners and donors in a tangible and comparable way.
Our vision, strategic priorities and key actions are outlined in our Data Transformation Strategy.
The collection and use of refugee data are mandated by the 1951 Refugee Convention and by the Statute of the Office of the High Commissioner for Refugees. The confidentiality of refugee data and related information is highly respected by UNHCR and our partners and the processing and protection of personal data are anchored in UNHCR’s Data Protection Policy. To learn more about the collection of refugee data read the Registration and Identity Management Guidelines.
