I. EthicalCargo Project - Supporting conflict-sensitive logistics and ethical transportation programs
Ms. Caroline Säfström (Communications and outreach officer) and Mr. Jonathan Fowler (Training) from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) will brief on the EthicalCargo project, its relevance for the wider humanitarian community and the services it provides.
Background
EthicalCargo is an information portal administered by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) and financed by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) and the Humanitarian Aid department of the European Commission (ECHO) with the support of the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs. The initiative is part of SIPRI's Countering Illicit Trafficking-Mechanism Assessment Project (CIT-MAP). The presentation will give a general introduction to the issue and to the services that EthicalCargo provides to humanitarian organisations implementing conflict-sensitive logistics plans. The issue has wide ranging implications for the wider humanitarian community and will be of interest to broader actors not directly involved in the procurement process.
