CONTEXT :

Atlas Logistique is an operational unit of Handicap International – Humanity and Inclusion (HI), specialized in the delivery of aid, in support of organizations and the humanitarian system. Our mission is to maximize the impact of aid by optimizing supply chains and opening up humanitarian space to the most difficult-to-reach populations. We develop innovative solutions adapted to acute and chronic crisis contexts, in close collaboration with humanitarian, private and public actors.

Since October 7 and the escalation of violence between Israel and Hamas, HI/Atlas Logistique (AL) has sent a logistics needs assessment team in Egypt and in Occupied Palestinian Territories. To support and facilitate the humanitarian aid delivery as close as possible to conflict-affected populations in Gaza Strip, Atlas Logistique is launching common storage solutions in Gaza Strip (including medical products storage with temperature control and cold chain) and Egypt.

Mission established in the 1990s in Egypt. Registered under Ministry of Solidarity. Operating in four core sectors of intervention: Early Childhood Development, Inclusive Education, BaNEREI and Rehabilitation; including activities in “secondary” sectors (MHPSS, IHA, accessibility, Inclusive Governance)

Key elements for consideration: team quite junior (especially managers and expected project managers under recruitment), PRM-second pillar includes new modality of intervention and new location (for the mission). Development context in which development aid interventions are mainly led by IO in support to the governments to support systemic strengthening (minimum role of INGOs and restricted work of local NGOs to charity/service provision). Thus, so far “humanitarian” work has been defined as what address the needs of refugees (even these do not fall anymore under emergency”). Current situation od massive arrival of refugees in Egypt is new and is the subject of high political stakes, as well as humanitarian coordination stakes.
