The United Nations Philippines has mobilized all the agencies and resources under its helm to reinforce and ensure the success of the country’s rollout of the coronavirus vaccination program.
UN Resident Coordinator Gustavo Gonzales and the heads of all UN agencies stationed in the Philippines made this assurance on Wednesday during their meeting with Department of Health Undersecretary Myrna Cabotaje and the team of DOH experts.
The UN is already supporting the Philippine vaccination program through the COVAX Facility, the international cooperation established to ensure equitable distribution of COVID-19 vaccines around the world, especially to low- and middle-income countries.
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.
