Paper overview
Humanitarian performance should be defined in terms of both its effects on those affected by crisis and according to core humanitarian principles. A more integrated approach to performance bringing together different levels, functions and initiatives within the system, could help to overcome many of the perceived failures of humanitarian assistance (Ramalingam et. al, 2009). There are many existing projects, initiatives and approaches for monitoring and reporting on performance within the humanitarian system. However, these have been established for a range of different purposes and different focuses and address aspects of performance. Many operate in parallel, and some overlap. Most efforts do not involve regular collection and analysis of data. Those that do are often fragmented in their approach. The purpose of this paper is to provide a systematic literature review of the humanitarian logistics and supply chain performance measurement literature combined with a citation network analysis approach. This will enable the identification of the main research clusters in the field of humanitarian logistics and supply chain performance measurement. This paper is separated into 2 main sections. The first section will discuss the systematic review methodology while the 2nd section will focus on the findings of the review.
