Abstract
The main purpose of this research paper is to study the Humanitarian Logistics
Performance of the Ethiopian Red Cross Society. The eight factors that have been
examined in this study are Recognition factors, Technological factors, Real professional
factor, and Collaboration factor, legal and political factors, socio-economic factors,
infrastructural factors, and donor factors. A total number of responses from 80
respondents were used for analysis in this research study. Questionnaires with closedended and five-point Likert scale items were utilized as an instrument to gather data for
the research. The data collected were analyzed in SPSS 23.0 Version. Descriptive
statistics were utilized to explain the demographic characteristics of respondents and to
discuss the descriptive report of responses provided by the respondents on the
humanitarian logistics practices and humanitarian logistics performance-using mean and
standard deviation. The result has shown that the level of humanitarian logistics
practices is very low. Inferential analysis was conducted to find out the effects of the
eight factors that affect humanitarian logistics performance. The result has shown
