Humanitarian Logistics Capability Mid-Term Review 2022 and Management Response

Summary of publication

The Humanitarian Logistics Capability (HLC) is a 10-year investment (1 July 2018 until 30 June 2028) that provides DFAT with the technical expertise and operational capability to support the Australian Government’s commitment to respond within 48 hours of a request for assistance to humanitarian emergencies in the region.

The 2022 mid-term review (MTR) assessed the performance of the first 5 years of the HLC and identified areas for improvement over the remaining period. DFAT, in its Management Response, supports 17 of the 19 recommendations in full. Most of the recommendations have already been actioned or are underway, and DFAT has committed to implementing a number of recommendations through the HLC design update process through 2023.
