UNJLC/UNICEF/CARE – NFI Common Pipeline

The Non-Food Items (NFI) Common Pipeline was developed to respond to displacement in Darfur in 2004. In 2007, the Pipeline was expanded to cover all of North Sudan. The operation is managed by the UN Joint Logistics Centre (UNJLC) to centralize procurement, transport and warehousing of non-food items, reducing overhead costs and administration by creating a single supply chain. Non-food items for the Common Pipeline are procured and shipped by UNICEF, after which they are delivered to CARE International, which acts as logistics service provider. CARE receives commodities, manages warehousing and arranges transport to state capital hubs and on to various distribution points. As of 25/07, NFI CP has assisted approximately 32,000 HH. Approximately 60,000 blankets, 4000 buckets, 2,300 cooking sets, 42,000 jerry cans, 18,000 plastic sheets, and 32,000 sleeping mats dispatched.
