Logistics Cluster South Sudan River Movement Strategy 2021
Format
OVERVIEW
This document provides an overview of the Logistics Cluster’s South Sudan River Movement strategy for 2021. In 2020, the Logistics Cluster transported 2,326 mt of humanitarian cargo through barge and boat movements, which accounts for 31% of the entire amount of cargo transported by the Logistics Cluster in 2020 and is a 71% increase compared to 2019. Building on these achievements, the cluster aims at driving logistics and cost efficiencies through the continuation of the transport modality shift undertaken in 2018, crucially decreasing reliance on air transport and continuing the expansion of road and river transport modalities’ use. For river transport, humanitarian cargo will continue to be delivered to over 60 docking sites identified along the White Nile, Bahr El-Jebel, Bahr Az Zeraf and Sobat rivers.
South Sudan: Logistics Efficiency and Pre-positioning Strategy 2020-2021
Format
OVERVIEW
This document aims to provide logistics efficiency and pre-positioning guidance for humanitarian organisations working in South Sudan for the 2020-2021 dry season and beyond. The Logistics Cluster plans to achieve logistics and cost efficiencies by continuing to undertake a shift in transport modalities by decreasing reliance on air transport and instead better utilising road and river transport. This strategy will enable responding organisations to establish an uninterrupted supply chain that supports the delivery of humanitarian relief items to affected populations by pre-positioning their requirements early. To achieve what is set out in this strategy, flexibility and cooperation will be required from all organisations, as well as early procurement of pipeline supplies prior to dry season.
