NADA has developed and adopted Standard Procurement Policy Procedure. Supply Chain management unit has fundamental aim which is to provide programs with Right Material and Services, In High Quality Standard, At Right Time, In Right Place and In A Good Condition. Procurement is a key activity in the supply chain. It can significantly influence the overall success of an emergency response depending on how it is managed. In humanitarian supply chains, procurement represents a very large proportion of the total spend and should be managed effectively to achieve optimum value. Procurement works like a pivot in the internal supply chain process turning around requests into actual products/commodities or services to fulfill the needs.

1- The internal customer.

2- Programs in response to emergencies and ongoing programs.

3- Prepositioning of stocks, for both internal customers and program needs. In collaboration with the warehouse function, products/commodities are mobilized and delivered. The three important principles of humanitarian logistics procurement are considered and adopted within NADA’s policy: o Transparency – all phases in the procurement process are fair and accurately documented;; o Accountability – accountability to donors who may require certain rules to be followed;; o Efficiency and cost effectiveness – meeting the six rights of supply;; price, right time, right quantity, quality services, delivery to the required places and from the most cost effective source.

The principles and their importance stem from three key facts:

1.That the resources utilized are usually funded by donor;;

2.That transparency contributes to the establishment of sound and reliable business relations with suppliers;;

3.That efficiency and cost effectiveness has a direct impact on operations and ultimately on beneficiaries

The Procurement functions by NADA is guard and mitigate against risk, understand the market, find good marketing opportunities, build relationships with suppliers, meet needs in a timely manner and constantly monitor performance to improve service provision.
