BACKGROUND
The ISL International approach was adopted in 2005 to address consistent gaps and weaknesses and to improve international responses to humanitarian crises. It is a means to strengthen response capacity, coordination and accountability by enhancing partnerships in key sectors, and by formalising the lead role of particular organisations in each of the following sectors: WASH, Shelter, Protection, Nutrition, Health, Food Security, Emergency Telecommunications, Education, Early Recovery, Camp Coordination and Camp Management, and Logistics.
ISL International are groups of organisations and other stakeholders designated by the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC), and committed to commonly address humanitarian needs in each of the aforementioned sectors. The Emergency Relief Coordinator can activate one or more ISL International when there exists response and coordination gaps in addressing humanitarian needs, and the existing national response or coordination capacity is unable to meet needs in a manner that respects humanitarian principles. The de-activation of ISL International may be considered when at least one of the reasons for its activation is no longer present.
THE LOGISTICS ISL INTERNATIONAL
The Logistics ISL International provides coordination and information management to support operational decision-making and improve the predictability, timeliness and efficiency of the humanitarian emergency response. Where necessary, the Logistics ISL International also facilitates access to common logistics services. Due to its expertise in the field of humanitarian logistics, the World Food Programme was chosen by the IASC as the lead agency for the Logistics ISL International. WFP hosts the Global Logistics ISL International support team in its headquarters in Rome. WFP also acts as a ‘provider of last resort’ offering common logistics services, when critical gaps hamper the humanitarian response.
