Main theme 2021: Financial, Cash and Voucher Assistance in Humanitarian Supply Chains
Other topics include, but are not limited to:
- Factors that influence modality selection
- Technology-based solutions for cash and voucher assistance
- Local procurement in humanitarian supply chains
- Market assessment and resilience of local supply chains and infrastructure

We hope to be able to welcome researchers and practitioners to interesting presentations and discussion on how to improve humanitarian response in an increasingly complex and dynamic world.
We welcome researchers’ and practitioners’ submissions focusing on the technologies, or methods, models, simulations and tools that can be used to improve humanitarian response in an increasingly complex and dynamic world. Contributions on the broad topics of humanitarian supply chains including refugees, health, conflicts, natural disasters, preparedness as well as creative and critical reflections are welcome. We are especially looking for contributions that discuss cash, vouchers, financial assistance for beneficiaries, as well as work that compare different modalities (cash vs in-kind).
REGISTRATION is now closed. There is no registration fee.
