Standby partners are an important mechanism for Â鶹ÊÓƵ to rapidly augment its emergency response. Not only do standby partners provide rapid surge capacity during emergencies, they also bring to Â鶹ÊÓƵ specific technical skills and equipment that are not available in-house. Standby partners bring expertise that help Â鶹ÊÓƵ adapt to the changing humanitarian landscape. Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s standby partner relationships are managed by the Augmented Logistics Intervention Team for Emergencies (ALITE) within Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s Supply Chain Division.
