Local Procurement Learning Partnership (LPLP)

The LPLP Initiative

The Local Procurement Learning Partnership (The LPLP) aims to highlight and promote the benefits of local manufacturing and procurement of goods and services needed to respond to humanitarian crises.

The LPLP initiative is supported through funding from Field Ready, a collective of non-profit, non-government organisations whose vision is that everyone should have the supplies they need, where they need them and when they need them.

Local Procurement

All too often, the need for speedy deployment of aid leads to inefficient, expensive, and environmentally damaging procurement practices. The LPLP brings together representatives from NGOs, the private sector, and academia who will highlight examples of best practices, discuss barriers and challenges to increasing local procurement and ways to overcome those issues. The LPLP is governed by a steering committee of global experts in local procurement click here to meet the steering committee. The LPLP welcomes input from anyone with an interest in local procurement and HLA members may contribute to discussion groups and share their work in this area in the HLA member zone.

HLA intern and King’s College London student Caoimhe Macgabbhan recently published her report entitled “Localisation in the Aid Logistics Sector: Perceptions, Challenges, and Opportunities”, which assesses localisation in practice in the humanitarian aid sector.
