Humanitarian Commodities Logistics (HCL) Community

If you work for a humanitarian response organization, we invite you to join the HCL community, a subgroup of the International Association of Public Health Logisticians (IAPHL). If you are not already an IAPHL member, you can join at https://iaphl.org/membership/. Once a member of IAPHL, you can join the HCL community by clicking on the Humanitarian Commodities Logistics link and requesting membership. The HCL community is a place to share information, learnings, and anything else of interest to those working in health supply chains in the humanitarian context. Supply chain experts from JSI, as well as other colleagues, will be available to answer questions and discuss issues related to supply chain management in humanitarian and emergency settings.
