According to www2.fundsforngos.org, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has issued a call for expressions of interest (EOIs) for logistics support and warehouse management in Kémo-Gribingui, Central African Republic (CAR), with a submission deadline of 27-Sep-2026.
Scope and Geographic Focus
The initiative — designated AMI 005 — targets emergency logistics infrastructure in Kémo-Gribingui, a region within the Central African Republic. The programme will be implemented exclusively in this area, requiring partner organisations to demonstrate sufficient local knowledge, operational capacity, personnel, and resources to implement activities safely.
The scope includes fleet and generator maintenance, fuel storage and distribution, procurement support, safe transportation of people and goods, and comprehensive warehouse and inventory management. All activities directly sustain humanitarian protection and assistance operations coordinated by UNHCR in the region.
Applicants must possess proven logistics expertise alongside sound financial management, security capacity, environmental responsibility, community accountability, and a clear commitment to localisation — criteria explicitly stated in the opportunity announcement.
Eligibility and Partnership Criteria
UNHCR invites both national and international NGOs to apply, though the partner organisation must maintain a demonstrable local presence in the Central African Republic. Strong applicants are expected to integrate technical logistics capability with contextual awareness and adherence to humanitarian principles.
The opportunity is structured as a partnership to maintain critical logistics infrastructure required for field-level response. This includes managing physical assets such as warehouses, generators, and transport fleets — all essential to sustaining service delivery amid volatile security conditions.
Organisations must show capacity to manage inventory systems, ensure fuel integrity across storage and distribution channels, and uphold accountability standards throughout procurement and transport processes — all under the oversight of UNHCR’s operational framework in Kémo-Gribingui.
Related UNHCR Calls in 2026
The source lists four additional UNHCR EOIs with deadlines in September 2026: one for WASH services in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (deadline 30-Sep-2026), another for health service access for forcibly displaced persons also in the DRC (deadline 30-Sep-2026), a third for integrated non-food items, shelter, and cash transfers in the DRC (deadline 30-Sep-2026), and a fourth — led by UNICEF — for refugee child protection systems in Malaysia (deadline 28-Sep-2026).
These parallel calls confirm UNHCR’s multi-country operational tempo across Africa and Asia during 2026, with five distinct deadlines clustered between 27-Sep-2026 and 30-Sep-2026. Each focuses on foundational service delivery: logistics, WASH, health, shelter/NFIs/cash, and child protection.
The AMI 005 logistics call stands out for its explicit emphasis on warehouse management infrastructure and its geographic specificity to Kémo-Gribingui, distinguishing it from broader national-level solicitations elsewhere.
