The paper begins by presenting the humanitarian sector at its widest through sketching the history and development of the field and the environment within which humanitarian logistics must take place. Next, the range of role-players engaged in humanitarian logistics, the nature of humanitarian space and the challenges to conventional logistics thinking are examined. The key similarities and differences between conventional private sector and humanitarian logistics are discussed and areas for increased public/private partnerships in logistics are highlighted
