Abstract: Both logistics and supply chain practices and the management issues that arise from them have become central in these organizations, from the realization of the role they play in the overall performance of the organizations. There has been lack of a clear organizational relationship between the different stakeholders, perhaps giving a roadmap of guidance on what each should observe. This has ultimately led to compromised service delivery by these organizations (Tysseland, 2009). All these are very significant issues that call for their study. The general objective of this study was to establish role of humanitarian logistics on supply chains performance in Non-Profit Organization in Kenya with reference to UNHCR. The study was guided by the following objectives: To establish the role of Information sharing on supply chain performance at UNHCR Kenya; To determine the role of organizational competent skills on supply chain performance at UNHCR Kenya; To establish the role of donor funding on supply chain performance at UNHCR Kenya. The study was a descriptive in nature, and utilized both qualitative and quantitative data. Theories relevant to this study included Social network theory, Resource based theory and Relief coordination theory. Which most of them was drawn from different disciplines such as industrial-organizational psychology and economics reflecting the interdisciplinary origin of supply chain management which all shown how the variables link up with the mentioned theories. The study therefore targeted a population of 400 UNHCR employees. The study used a simple random sampling to sample the population. A sample of 120 respondents was randomly picked from 400 respondents. The main tools of data collection for this study was questionnaires and interview.
