Anticipate, align, act - Reimagining supply chain planning for impact
How can we stop scrambling after crises and plan ahead better?
This interactive session dives into how humanitarian actors can shift from reactive response to proactive ones, using smarter supply chains with forecasting and planning. Drawing on fresh evidence and real-world stories, panelists from the humanitarian and private sectors will share what works (and what doesn’t) when applying demand forecasting in tough contexts.
After hearing from the panelists, a lively fishbowl format will bring participants directly into the conversation. Perspectives from different parts of the sector will be exchanged, assumptions tested, and practical ideas surfaced. The aim is to explore how anticipating needs internally and externally can lead to more efficient, equitable, and resilient humanitarian action.
