UNHRD Brochure

WFP established its first United Nations Humanitarian Response Depot (UNHRD) in Brindisi, Italy on 1 June 2000.  In 2006, based on WFP’s own needs and at its own cost, the Programme replicated the Brindisi model for an emergency response facility in strategic locations by creating a network of HRDs in Africa, the Middle East, South East Asia and Latin America.

 

This global network will facilitate WFP’s capacity to meet its goal of responding to 3 concurrent large-scale emergencies and the implementation of a 4th one.

 

Furthermore, WFP is offering to UN Agencies, international organisations and governmental/non-governmental organisations, use of the emergency response facilities and associated support services at a no-cost or cost-recovery basis.  The primary advantage of the HRDs is more rapid deployment of physical and/or virtual stocks and cost-savings in pre-positioning or dispatching the most urgently needed humanitarian aid to the disaster locations.
