The recently launched Humanitarian Logistics Data Bank will avoid the duplication of aid resources and help relief agencies save money, an expert said.
Haya bint Al Hussein, wife of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, and chairperson of IHC, had launched the data bank earlier in February during the World Government Summit.
Speaking to Khaleej Times, Giuseppe Saba, CEO of International Humanitarian City, said the online platform records available aid stock, exported stock and the countries the relief items have reached, with a summary of contributions of each government.
The data bank is aimed to help governments in emergencies resulting from conflicts or natural disasters to access real-time information and seek help from the nearest country with needed stock.
How the logistics data bank helps nations The Humanitarian Logistics Data Bank will combine all of it from different countries into one platform even though information about available humanitarian aid has been fragmented, according to Giuseppe Saba, CEO of International Humanitarian City. "During emergencies, governments and relief agencies would call up different countries to ask for help and state the type of stock they need. The process used to take a long time. But now with the data bank, governments will have immediate access to the type of stock available in different countries," Saba said. He added: "The key is to provide countries in emergencies with the opportunity to seek immediate help from the nearest government and explore the stocks available to select the aid items required." |
