Blockchain-Enabled Supply Chain Transparency and Smart Contracts for Efficient Humanitarian Aid Operations in NGO

In the face of global crises, humanitarian aid organizations are crucial for delivering assistance to vulnerable populations. However, the effectiveness of aid operations is hindered by challenges in transparency, accountability, and operational efficiency. This paper explores the transformative potential of blockchain technology in revolutionizing humanitarian aid delivery. Blockchain, with its decentralized and immutable ledger system, promises to address issues of trust and transparency. The research outlines a strategic vision to enhance supply chain transparency, improve operational efficiency and foster accountability within the humanitarian aid sector. A key focus is the development and implementation of the “HumanitarianAid” smart contract, leveraging blockchain to automate and ensure equitable resource distribution. The paper details the system design, transaction flow, and deployment using Remix IDE, presenting successful testing scenarios. The visual representation of executed transactions in the blockchain model illustrates dynamic interactions between donors, NGOs, and beneficiaries. The findings underscore the potential of blockchain to in shaping the future of humanitarian aid operations, streamline processes, enhance transparency, and facilitate efficient and fair humanitarian aid delivery.
