Global initiative for Supply Management System

SUMA has taken the first steps for it's standardization globally. It has received the support from various United Nations agencies and, coordinated by WHO, an inter-agency initiative will be launched on an international level to strengthen the operational capacity of humanitarian organizations, governmental and nongovernmental institutions. This will allow a more fluid information sharing, a joint logistical planning, and therefore a more efficient management of humanitarian assistance, which improves the final response to those in need.
