The first annual overview on WFP Logistics has been published. We're operating around 5,000 trucks, 30 ships, and 50 aircraft on any given day, but that's not all. In addition to assisting the humanitarian community, strengthening core partnerships, and sharing our logistics expertise, we've also been building new areas of innovation in supply chain management. Have a look here and see what else we've been up to in 2012!    

When WFP launched Special Operation 105780 in 2007, there was one main objective: to promote the uninterrupted and timely supply of relief items to vulnerable populations across Somalia. At the time, humanitarian access was very limited; port infrastructures in Somalia were in urgent need of repair and these challenges, coupled with large security risks, impeded the safe delivery of humanitarian assistance. In addition, WFP aimed to reduce operational costs, while building local capacity and supporting a larger framework of economic development.
