Abstract

Chapter 3 defines humanitarian supply chain relationships among the actors in disaster relief. Section 1 describes inter-organizational interactions (governance forms and coordination mechanisms); in particular, it examines the move from inter-agency coordination to cross-sector cooperation. Section 2 delineates humanitarian-business partnerships, and it stresses the benefits they produce for both humanitarian organizations and companies; it shows how they are vital to a successful operation, and it also focuses on the importance of cross-learning opportunities. Section 3 underlines the role and main features that logistics companies should possess to become partners for the humanitarian sector. The chapter provides the reader with a description of inter-organizational interactions in emergency relief operations, and reveals the importance for cross-learning between the private and the humanitarian sector.
