The Annual Preparedness Workshop 2022 was held from 24-26 January 2023 in Rome, bringing together 86 participants from Governments, United Nations organisations, International and National NGOs, Academia, and the Private Sector. The main objectives of this meeting, held as a Design Workshop, were:
- Design a holistic Logistics Cluster preparedness two-year activity roadmap driven by Logistics Cluster partners and stakeholders, turning the Logistics Cluster Strategy 2022-2026 and its Strategy Implementation Plan into concrete activities aligned with preparedness working groups, initiatives, projects, and partner preparedness action across the Logistics Cluster community.
- Provide a platform for exchange and awareness raising across national and international preparedness actors, stakeholders, partners, and academia on expressed topics of interest (see section ‘Topics’) to elaborate on common findings, recommendations, and action items amongst the Logistics Cluster community.
- Review the Field-Based Preparedness Project (FBPP) activities, informing the broader partner community about progress, achievements and challenges, identifying good practices and lessons to (re)design the FBPP activities as community-lead preparedness project for 2023-2024, and establish general recommendations for localised, national stakeholder-centric capacity strengthening.
- Host related working groups, projects, and initiatives active in logistics emergency preparedness to support a cross sectional alignment of activities in various SIP areas of preparedness to improve cross-disciplinary exchange and alignment. The Preparedness Working group will re-form with dedicated thematic area leads, expanding its scope of activities to the full.
