COVID-19 Global Common Service Provision Eligibility Criteria Brief

This brief outlines the eligibility criteria for accessing WFP’s global free-to-user cargo services on behalf of the humanitarian and health community in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The spread and impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic are having vast repercussions on supply chains due to border closures, import/export and port restrictions, reduced commercial aviation and shipping operations, and restrictions on movement to/from and within countries. These supply chain disruptions put the continuation of health and humanitarian programmes at risk, and significantly complicates potential scale-up by limiting the movement of goods and humanitarian personnel, endangering the continuation of life-saving humanitarian programmes.
