A collaborative approach to mobilising education supplies <strong>and</strong> equipment will<br />
need to be guided by the Coordinator with support from cluster partners or<br />
external actors with logistics expertise <strong>and</strong> sufficient knowledge of the local<br />
context.<br />
The following actors will also be important for effective coordination:<br />
The Logistics Cluster –<br />
facilitates an uninterrupted supply chain of relief <strong>and</strong> recovery items to the<br />
affected population (including establishing staging areas, strategic cargo<br />
movements, mobile storage, ground transport capacity, <strong>and</strong> infrastructure<br />
repair): http://www.logcluster.org/<br />
Other clusters –<br />
particularly the Protection, WASH, <strong>and</strong> Emergency Shelter clusters, which are<br />
involved in the procurement of similar, or school-related materials, eg, non-food<br />
items (NFIs), latrine slabs, plastic sheeting.<br />
UNICEF <strong>and</strong> Save the Children supply <strong>and</strong> logistics staff -<br />
involved in procuring materials for their own programmes, which may include<br />
other cluster partners which are contracted as implementing partners.<br />
Relevant government departments –<br />
for warehousing, distribution, monitoring, <strong>and</strong> assistance with customs <strong>and</strong><br />
excise, ports <strong>and</strong> airport authorities.<br />
UN Joint Logistics Centre -<br />
is a UN common service which is activated when intensified field-based interagency<br />
logistics information is required: http://www.unjlc.org/<br />

8.4.1 Mobilisation of education supplies as part of emergency<br />
preparedness<br />
Logistical capacity has been highlighted as an area of capacity weakness within<br />
the cluster. 59 Attention to cluster supply <strong>and</strong> distribution requirements, <strong>and</strong><br />
capacities, is consequently a critical part of emergency preparedness.<br />
Similarly, in contingency planning, particular attention should be given to the<br />
impact of different types <strong>and</strong> scales of emergency on the subsequent supply <strong>and</strong><br />
distribution requirements, eg, where education supplies are required in every<br />
school across a wide geographical area, or where problems are expected with<br />
access or distribution due to insecurity.<br />
The cluster strategy for mobilising <strong>and</strong> pre-positioning education supplies should<br />
link in with, <strong>and</strong> can serve to strengthen, government disaster management<br />
