Objectives
- Provision of NFIs and Emergency Shelter items to persons such as returnees, IDPs, and other identified vulnerables in emergency situations to mitigate health threats and to sustain or improve living conditions of the target populations.
- Improve coordination of agencies distributing NFIs and Emergency Shelter items and increase/improve information sharing.
Operational Management
The operation is managed by UNJLC in order to centralise procurement, transport and warehousing of NFIs, thereby combining overheads and streamlining operations under a single supply chain. NFIs for the Common Pipeline are procured and shipped by UNICEF, after which they are delivered to the CARE warehouse in Khartoum. CARE receives commodities, manages warehousing and arranges transport to state capital hubs and on to various distribution points, with UNJLC assisting with prioritisation, assessments and targeting. NGO and UN partners conduct needs assessments and distribute the NFIs.

The following items are available in the NFI Common Pipeline :
- blankets
- plastic sheeting
- sleeping mats

Items are not provided as a specific basket but based on needs assessment.

- UNJLC reviews the request and processes the request in accordance with the strategic and operational NFI priorities and targets (when it is not in accordance with NFI priorities, the request can be presented to the relevant NFI committee for resolution).
