Coordination has been reported as a main issue in humanitarian supply chain. Although it is recognized as a potential driver for efficiency, it is not broadly studied in real cases. This chapter presents a case study for humanitarian supply chain. Using Lambert's framework for SCM, humanitarian supply chain is characterized identifying its structure, business processes, and management components. Once humanitarian supply chain is understood, a short review is performed to identify how coordination is being integrated into humanitarian supply chains body of literature, and principles, techniques, and technologies applied for coordination in humanities supply chain are identified. Finally, using content analysis methodology, coordination issues are mapped through humanitarian actors in Colombia by understanding the supply chain strategy of three principal actors for Colombian humanitarian supply chain.
