**Specific stakes and challenges**
- Mission went through a rapid growth and as a result the systems/follow ups that are in place constantly “falls behind”, requiring periodic work to “catch up” with real data and updates on processes in place to make daily work more efficient.
- As a result of rapid expansion, the procurement volume of the bases went very high (500K EUR per month) and will continue to grow in the next 3-4 months. This reflects on the team as workload and as “compliance risks” due to contracting under pressure/high speed.
- Difficult suppliers’ environment with lack of experience make it difficult to implement successfully calls for tender.
- Purchase of technical material for water infrastructure projects to source outside of SI areas of intervention and internationally (inter-city shipments, identification of FFWDs etc).
- High turnover at base and coordination level with frequent gap within the logistic teams.
- High warehousing operations linked to WFP General Food Distributions that require strong follow up to avoid losses/theft and ensure compliance in terms of documentation.
- Fleet continues to grow as the funding/team sizes of the mission increase. Requires good level of follow up in terms of fuel, maintenance FU.
- IT skills in the country and team in place is very limited, thus requires extensive guidance from log coo. An IT officer is recommended and included in the mission strategy/organogram.
- As of now, no budget visibility in the mission (No Boussol, No LFU)
