Abstract :
Developing countries regularly face disasters such as aridity, epidemic, deluge, and mass migration. Some of these countries developed national program for disaster prevention and response. However, observations show deployment and implementation lacks in many national programs. A study of the special case of Burkina Faso provided useful information to humanitarian logistics challenges that could be addressed with suitable digital ecosystems. This contribution is a position paper addressing this issue.
