Outcome
The solution developed by Applied Blockchain is currently undergoing real-user testing as part of an iterative design process to ensure alignment with the needs and workflows of stakeholders involved in the transportation process. By digitising document management and approval procedures, the Blocks for Transport project holds the potential to significantly reduce the time required for aid packages to travel from Djibouti to Ethiopia, thereby enhancing the overall efficiency of humanitarian logistics operations. By leveraging data sources such as population size, transportation routes, and nutritional value of food, the WFP’s Optimus system provides vital insights regarding ideal food basket design, food sourcing techniques, and distribution networks. The initiative’s objective is to enhance aid delivery by improving logistics and ensuring timely transportation of critical supplies, ultimately contributing to the fight against food insecurity in the region.
