CONTEXT:

Atlas Logistique is an operational unit of HI, supporting humanitarian actors since 1993. Atlas Logistique (AL) facilitates, optimizes and accelerates the delivery of aid in emergency and chronic humanitarian situations. Our mission is to open the humanitarian space to the most difficult to access populations, and to optimize humanitarian supply chains.

We advocate for an innovative vision of operational logistics, seen not as a support function for operations, but as a vector of humanitarian impact. Operational logistics makes the humanitarian aid system more efficient, more inclusive of isolated populations and more respectful of the environment. It can also contribute to the emergence of market players as levers of resilience and development in fragile countries. We are constantly rethinking our projects so that they serve this vision and our humanitarian impact mandate.

The global development of Handicap International – Atlas Logistique (HI-AL) is one of the major axes of HI’s 2015-2025 strategy. At the end of 2018, a dedicated division and team was created for this purpose. We extended our Programming from 3 to 11 countries of intervention and doubled our funded operational volume. The deployment of Atlas Logistique has been accompanied by a restructuring of our operations around four pillars: shared transport and storage platforms (cold chain included), logistics analysis, logistics capacity building and civil engineering. They all contribute to positioning HI-AL as a key player in the humanitarian aid access.
