Description

The challenges facing humanitarian logistics are huge. Refugee camps present enormously challenging environments in which sudden spikes in demand difficult to access locations disruptions due to conflict or disasters as well as normal supply chain problems are commonplace. This means that orders for medical and other supplies can take weeks and sometimes months to fulfil severely impeding humanitarian operations. There is also a lack of or slow adoption of technology routinely used elsewhere. In addition humanitarian logistics are also expensive. When customs clearance transportation storage middlemen and administration are added in the costs of basic items are often exorbitant. Managing Humanitarian Innovation presents a new approach that is beginning to transform the way humanitarian logistics are conducted. Innovation in logistics includes disrupting and improving supply chains through the use of technology especially 3D printers and engaging people to manage this approach. The book discusses what innovation is and strategies for supporting it it describes practical innovations and how they have been applied and it outlines how innovation labs can be run. Finally it covers how to fund innovation and it suggests how humanitarian innovation might develop in the future. This book brings together the real experience of practitioners who have made innovation work. It is a collaborative work written by and for the community of people involved in humanitarian innovation in particular in the making and manufacturing of humanitarian supplies. The book is full of practical and actionable points of value to the humanitarian community.ampnbsp Managing Humanitarian Innovation is essential reading for humanitarian practitioners as well as volunteers and others involved in humanitarian supplies provision. It is equally helpful to thought leaders policy makers and educators.
