The Logistics Cluster Lessons Learned Exercise for the Syria operation was conducted between May and August 2016, covering the period July 2014 until June 2016. Syria was chosen as an example of a long-term Logistics Cluster engagement in a complex emergency setting, where physical access to beneficiaries and security are the main challenges in delivering life-saving cargo. The main objectives of the exercise were to draw on the lessons learned and derive recommendations for the future of the Syria operation itself, but also to identify best practices for other operations.
