Problem: You have received your third information bulletin, attached. Chi-Min Goa, Program Coordinator, wants to submit a proposal to HAA as soon as possible, requesting funding for SCILaid to provide life-saving assistance to the 10,000 people identified north of the Rajpur-Mugla road. David Tatlock decided that this immediate assistance should be provided in-kind and for an initial period of 3 months.
Specifically, the proposal will include the provision of:
2,000 Tents
10,000 Blankets
2,000 Kitchen Sets
2,000 Hygiene Kits
Family Food Parcels for 3-Months
Please create a general logistics plan for this new project proposal.
Your plan should include procurement, transport, warehousing, staffing, and budget.
As part of procurement, please consider donor requirements and review locally available resources.
To ensure that the plan is correctly monitored and controlled from a financial aspect, be sure to specify how the budget should be monitored and what financial records should be maintained.
You should also include how you propose to maintain a healthy and safe working environment as well as security factors you will need to take into consideration, including plans for managing them.
Your plan should also look at risk overall, beyond safety and security. Be sure to include mitigating actions against overall supply chain failure.
Please include a communications plan, ensuring all those who need to know are informed.
Include an exit strategy or plan to transition at the end of the 3 months. Include a plan for assessing the retail market and the logistics requirements for switching modalities, for if the beneficiaries are still in need but the markets are functioning sufficiently to support transition to a cash or voucher modality.
In preparing your general logistics plan, you will have considered the following:
