Logistics and the supply chain have never been more important to providing effective humanitarian assistance. Logistics activities account for a very large proportion of the costs involved in a disaster relief operation. In the current economic climate it is even more incumbent on all of us to explore ways of minimising costs while maximising the impact of aid.
This RedR course has been approved by the Chartered Institute of Logistics & Transport (CILT) to provide appropriate logistics training for the humanitarian sector. RedR facilitators with a range of training and humanitarian logistics experience will be conducting the course, alongside instructors from HELP; CILT’s Humanitarian & Emergency Logistics Professionals.
