Humanitarian relief efforts are supported by shared services. These services aim to keep supply chains running smoothly. They are not meant to replace other organisations' logistics capabilities or compete with commercial providers.

Instead, they fill gaps in operations and serve as a backup option when other services are unavailable. Details about accessing these services and the conditions for their use are outlined in a document. This document provides an overview of the services and their objectives.

Further information can be found in the Standard Operating Procedures for Common Logistics Services, which is available for organisations responding to emergencies. The goal of these services is to help organisations deliver essential items to those in need.
