1. Cross-cutting Updates
• The Logistics Cluster invites partners to the ninth Global Logistics Cluster Call on Humanitarian Supply Chains during and for the COVID-19 response on Wednesday, 17 June at 14:30 CEST. For dial-in details please contact COVID-19@logcluster.org.
• The minutes of the 4 June Global Logistics Cluster COVID-19 response conference call can be accessed here.
• This is a reminder that the Logistics Cluster has rolled out CHOCOLAT, a platform where all humanitarian partners can indicate all international cargo transport requirements that are not met. The platform can now be accessed through a simplified weblink: http://logcluster.org/chocolat Through the platform, the Logistics Cluster can link partners with each other, with diverse free-for-user service providers (WFP, ECHO, CSR flights, etc.) and perform evidence-supported advocacy for cargo flights. The Logistics Cluster has now included free-for-user flight offers in the platform and partners can input their cargo transport capacity.
• At the request of ECHO and complementary to the WFP common services plan, the Logistics Cluster is collating requests from partners for ad hoc flight requests. Flights will be indicated in the regular GLC calls or as a red alert on the website while partners are requested to indicate requests on CHOCOLAT or to COVID-19@logcluster.org.
• WFP has received the authorisation from various governments to operate passenger flights in various regions. The flight information shared in the two following points is the most recent at the time of publication.
