Purpose of this paper This paper links humanitarian logistics (HL) and supply chain risk management (SCRM) to provide an understanding of risk mitigation strategies that humanitarian organizations use, or could use, to improve their logistics preparedness. Design/methodology/approachBased on systematic reviews of strategies in SCRM and supply chain strategies (SCS) in HL literature, a framework is developed and used to review published case studies in HL. FindingsThe study finds that humanitarian actors use a number of the strategies proposed in the framework, particularly those related to strategic stocks, postponement, and collaboration. Strategies related to sourcing and procurement, however, especially those on supplier relationships, seem to be lacking in both research and practice. Research limitationsThe study is based on secondary data and could be further developed through case studies based on primary data. Future studies should explore the generalizability of the findings. Practical implicationsPractitioners can use the framework to identify potential new SCS and how strategies can be combined. Findings can help them to understand the abnormal risks of main concern, how they may impact normal risks, and provide ideas on how to tackle trade-offs between different risks. Societal implicationsThe results can support improvements in humanitarian supply chains, which will provide affected people with rapid, cost-efficient, and better-adapted responses.What is original/value of paper The paper connects SCRM and HL to develop a framework and suggest propositions on how humanitarian actors can mitigate supply chain risks. Questioning the focus on strategic stock it suggests complementary or alternative strategies for improving logistics preparedness.

“…The introduction of regional hubs through the United Nations Humanitarian Response Depots (UNHRD), as well as the recent reconfiguration of the IFRC supply chain further emphasizes regional structures (Jahre & Heigh, 2008;Gatignon et al, 2010). But whilst the UNHRD system is mostly for regional pre-positioning of globally purchased items, the IFRC hub structure includes that aid items should be sourced regionally if not locally, though following a standard item catalogue.…”

“…In this context, decisions on what is procured, from where, when, by whom, and in what way, become critical not only because of the potential logistics implications (e.g. transport arrangements, distribution to beneficiaries) (Jahre & Spens, 2007a;Balcik & Beamon, 2008), but also because of the vast implications and the wider impact that these decisions may have on local communities (Jahre & Spens, 2007b;Gatignon, van Wassenhove, & Charles, 2010).…”

“…For example, local sourcing is said to contribute to economic growth in the disaster area (Long & Wood, 1995;Jahre & Spens, 2007a, 2007b, as it contributes to business growth (Skoglund & Hertz, 2012), whilst it reduces the response time to disasters (Gatignon et al, 2010). Local sourcing of food items even ensures their cultural and legal appropriateness (Tomasini & van Wassenhove, 2004), not to speak of counteracting potential detrimental health consequences of changes in diet.…”

Different procurement decisions taken by relief organizations can result in considerably differentimplications in regards to transport, storage, and distribution of humanitarian aid and ultimately can influence the performance of the humanitarian supply chain and the delivery of the humanitarian aid.In this paper we look into what resources are needed and how these resources evolve in the delivery of humanitarian aid. Drawing on the resource-based view of the firm we develop a framework to categorize the impact of local resources on the configuration of humanitarian supply chains. In contrast to other papers, the importance of localizing the configuration of the humanitarian supply chain is not only conceptually recognized, but empirical investigations are also provided. In terms of methodology, this paper is based on the analysis of secondary data from two housing reconstruction projects. Findings indicate that the use of local resources in humanitarian aid has positive effects on programs' overall supply chain performance and these effects are not only related to the macroeconomic perspective, but benefits expand to improvements related to the use of knowledge. At the same time it was found that local sourcing often comes with a number of problems. For example, in one of the cases significant problems existed, which were related to the scarcity of local supplies. Both housing reconstruction projects have indicated the continuous need for changes throughout the programs as a dynamic supply chain configuration is important for the long-term sustainability of reconstruction aid.
