Concept:

 

The Logistics Cluster Induction Training (LCIT) is designed to familiarise participants with the Logistics Cluster by providing an initial experience of the cluster approach in an emergency setting. This training provides information on the following topics: the cluster approach, the humanitarian reform, the mandate and functions of the Logistics Cluster. Participants are also informed about the potential logistics constraints and bottlenecks in a humanitarian response, and how to overcome them. The LCIT varies in format and can be facilitated through a combination of desktop and simulation exercises.

Duration:

 

3.5 days (adaptable to suit audience requirements).

Target Audience:

 

Professionals with a logistics profile and previous emergency response experience.

Training Outcomes:

 

  • Participants have a common understanding on the cluster approach and cluster mandate to ensure an efficient and effective inter-agency logistics response.

  • Participants are able to best coordinate with the Logistics Cluster on behalf of their organisations and are prepared to be deployed as a member of a Logistics Cluster team.

  • Participants obtain an improved understanding of recurrent logistics bottlenecks and on the strategies to avoid and overcome constraints.
