In this English episode, we dive into a rarely discussed topic: managing stock in humanitarian logistics. Together with guests from Welthungerhilfe, we explore the real challenges NGOs face – from lack of transparency to massive funding cuts. At the center is the “Stockholm Platform,” an initiative aiming to create global visibility of humanitarian stock.
It quickly becomes clear that the rules in humanitarian logistics differ fundamentally from those in the private sector. At the same time, there are striking parallels, especially when it comes to resilience and collaboration.
- Transparency over silos: Why the lack of visibility in stock management is a core issue – and how the Stockholm Platform tackles it.
- Collaboration under pressure: How decreasing funding and growing global crises are forcing NGOs to move from “collaboration washing” to real cooperation.
- Resilience vs. efficiency: What businesses can learn from humanitarian logistics when dealing with uncertainty and crisis preparedness.
This episode highlights how complex and relevant supply chain management becomes outside the traditional business world. The lessons around collaboration, simplicity, and focusing on what truly matters can be directly applied to the private sector.
If you want to understand how logistics works under extreme conditions, this episode is a must-listen. As always, you’ll find all relevant links and resources in the show notes.
