When floods, conflict or an epidemic strike, the speed and integrity of the supply chain decide whether relief arrives in days or weeks, and whether funds are spent defensibly. The week opens with how humanitarian supply chains differ from commercial ones, the response phases and the role of the logistics cluster. Procurement sessions cover emergency waivers and procedures, framework agreements, prepositioned stock, supplier sourcing, quotations and contracting under time pressure. You then plan transport, fleet use, warehousing, stock control and last-mile distribution in insecure or damaged environments.
Day four looks at coordination with other agencies, when cash and voucher assistance can replace in-kind goods, and the fraud, diversion and security risks that emerge in crisis operations. The final day covers key performance indicators, donor compliance, audit trails and building team capability for the next response. Logisticians, procurement officers, supply chain coordinators, warehouse managers and programme staff in NGOs, UN agencies and disaster management authorities will benefit most. A simulated emergency runs through the week, so you produce a response supply plan, procurement file and distribution schedule under realistic constraints.
