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 situations and chronic crises. Our mission is to open up humanitarian space to the most difficult-to-reach populations and to optimize humanitarian supply chains.
We champion an innovative vision of operational logistics, viewing it not as a support function for operations, but as a driver of humanitarian impact. Operational logistics makes the humanitarian aid system more efficient, more inclusive of isolated populations, and more environmentally responsible. It can also contribute to the emergence of market players as levers for resilience and development in fragile countries. We constantly rethink our projects to ensure they serve this vision and our mandate for humanitarian impact.
The overall development of Handicap International – Atlas Logistique (HI-AL) is a major focus of HI’s 2015-2025 strategy. At the end of 2018, a dedicated department and team were established for this purpose. We expanded our program from 3 to 10 countries of operation and doubled our operational budget from €4 million to €10 million. The rollout of Atlas Logistique was accompanied by a restructuring of our operations around four key sectors: shared transport and storage platforms, logistics analysis, logistics capacity building, and civil engineering. These all contribute to positioning HI-AL as a key player in humanitarian access.
