📍 gear.UP, Germany

The 7th edition of gear.UP has officially kicked off on 13 September! This is the moment when two key clusters—Emergency Telecommunications and Logistics—come together with the humanitarian community and private sector to ensure a network of responders is ready to act together tomorrow.

Led by WFP, the ETC and the Logistics Cluster enable the multiplier effect of humanitarian response: delivering vital programmes with the best expertise, assets, and services available. By strengthening global logistics systems and technical capacity, we build a resilient network ready to respond in emergencies. 

Huge thanks to the German Federal Agency for Technical Relief (THW) for hosting this year’s response exercise, and good luck to all facilitators and participants for this emergency simulation.
