The subject of the article is an analysis of the functioning of the World Food Program (WFP) as a leading organization, directing and coordinating activities in humanitarian logistics at the level of the Global Logis-tics Cluster (GLC). The article adopts the research goal of defining the role of the World Food Program in activities carried out in humanitarian logistics at the level of the Global Logistics Cluster. Hypotheses were formulated; WFP is responsible for directing and coordinating humanitarian activities of all partner organi-zations participating in the GLC, and WFP is responsible for the development of the global supply chain and effective cooperation between partners in various humanitarian logistics operations. Achieving the research goal and verifying the adopted hypothesis was possible thanks to the use of research methods such as: analysis of existing data (desk research), analysis of documents published by WFP, as well as logical inference based on the collected research material and conducting a case study.The article shows that the WFP is the leading UN agency in the GLC, contributing to the development of humanitarian logistics and meeting the humani-tarian needs of communities in various parts of the world. Humanitarian operations carried out at the initia-tive of WFP under the GLC can be divided into Logistics Sector Support, Logistics Preparedness and Logistics Cluster Operation. Humanitarian aid directed and coordinated by the WFP, supplemented with development aid, is the result of the development of humanitarian logistics at the GLC level.
