In March 2020, the Global Logistics Cluster worked together with KLU and HELP Logistics to understand the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on humanitarian supply chains. In its first survey, 76 respondents participated from a range of humanitarian organisations. The initial findings enabled the Logistics Cluster to see patterns of problems such as changes in price levels, delivery delays of humanitarian supplies, as well as upstream and incountry movement challenges. At this stage, it is important to assess the impact of the COVID-19 on the humanitarian supply chain over time. For this reason, the second survey round was conducted to capture any changes from March 2020 to April 2020.
