Nepal Earthquake Response Inter-Cluster Coordination, Kathmandu Prioritisation for inter-agency cargo transport 1. Background Considering the heavy demand for logistics services including storage, road and air transport, the Logistics Cluster asked OCHA to coordinate the consolidation of priority in terms of cargo through the inter-cluster coordination group. The ICC group at its meeting on 15 June 2015 agreed to develop a list of priority emergency relief items and their destinations for airlifting. The resulting note below was endorsed by the Humanitarian Country Team on 15 July. 2. Prioritisation for air transport Key parameters for prioritising relief items for airlifting are as follows: Alignment with the flash appeal strategy: “The first priority of the response is to reach the worst affected and those in the farthest affected mountainous areas before the monsoons cause further damage and cut off access. … Because of the urgency of delivering soon … and given the limitations on the size, weight, and types of cargo that can be handled, the first focus will be on providing essential supplies to help these vulnerable populations through the rains. Typically these would include tarps, tools, blankets, food, water tablets, and other essential NFIs.” (page 12) Sectors in order of priority: 1) Shelter, 2) Food, 3) Health, 4) WASH, 5) Education, 6) Nutrition. Sectors in terms of percentage of cargo to be transported (planned target by weight): Shelter 50%, Food 40%, Other Sectors 10% Geographic coverage: Hard-to-reach areas of Gorkha, Dhading, Rasuwa, Nuwakot, Sindhupalchowk, Dolakha and areas adjacent to these districts Internal district prioritisation is set at the district level in accordance with their much more thorough planning and knowledge, in coordination with district authorities and through clusters. Timeframe: If there are no urgent needs, the priority list will be reviewed by the ICC every four weeks and/or upon request of the Logistics Cluster subject to evolving operational needs and impact of Monsoon season. Geographic targets and timeframe of review of priority will change based on the status of accessibility and programmatic needs. Type of organization: Only cargo from NGOs registered with the Government of Nepal and/ or prioritised by the respective cluster will be accepted. Annex: Annex 1.
