Transforming humanitarian logistics through capacity sharing and local leadership.

Through the PARCEL Network, we connect local, national, and international actors to share knowledge, resources, and leadership in humanitarian logistics.

Partner Capacity Enhancement in Logistics 

PARCEL 2 is an interagency initiative funded by ECHO-DG to strengthen Supply Chain and Logistics capacities of local and national humanitarian actors (LNHAs).
The project builds on the original PARCEL initiative launched in 2015 and facilitates organizations’ leadership in upholding shared humanitarian logistics standards.

Through the creation of the PARCEL Network, the initiative promotes meaningful knowledge exchange and resource sharing between local, national, and international organizations, supporting locally led humanitarian response and leadership.

Together, we are working toward a more inclusive and sustainable humanitarian logistics system — one where local actors lead the way in delivering timely, effective, and appropriate assistance.
