The Logistics Cluster Global Meetings (GLM) are convened biannually, bringing together representatives from Logistics Cluster partners worldwide. These meetings serve as a strategic forum for discussing the Logistics Cluster's initiatives, reviewing operations, gathering feedback from partner organizations, and presenting new projects relevant to humanitarian logistics.
The GLM in May 2024 was held from Tuesday, May 21, to Thursday, May 23, in Rome, Italy. The event saw the participation of 47 partners from 43 organizations. The agenda was carefully crafted to encourage discussions and collaborative brainstorming sessions. The primary objective was to facilitate open interactions and develop a shared, in-depth understanding of critical topics related to logistics coordination.
This meeting built on the discussions from the previous GLMs held in 2023. The June 2023 meeting initiated a refocus on activities within the Logistics Cluster's mandate, addressing field requirements and aligning with core values. The November 2023 meeting, spanning 11 countries, highlighted field challenges and needs.
