ULS Pilot Version

The pilot version of the Universal Logistics Standards (ULS) is now accessible to all those people, organizations and institutions who want to improve Quality and Accountability of logistics operations in humanitarian aid.

Based on a thorough review of existing standards, guidelines and best practices, the Technical Advisory Group, made up of more than twenty experts from different parts of the world, defined the format and scope of the Standards.

These are the strengthen key features of the Standards:

  • These are universal and is important for a wide range of stakeholders to be able to communicate effectible and understand different terminologies, particularly when there is a crisis.

  • The Standards highlight the links between logistics work in crisis and core humanitarian principles and pillars such as protection or accountability. This is a key difference with available guidance documents until now.

  • The Standards have been developed as a common reference for the different actors involved in the humanitarian response. Their format allows all of them to adapt the best practices in the sector to their approach to logistics operations. These as voluntary standards.

    • Thanks to the recognition of important logistics actors, the project team is already working on the pilot phase of ULS to verify, at field level, the usefulness and benefits of Standards. The Pilot version of the ULS is a live document. It will be revised based on the piloting experiences as well as further feedback and recommendations.
