New Francophone training in supply chain management
Up to From the Field
Dear Colleagues, I wanted to take this opportunity to share with you a new short course in health supply chain mangement that we hope may benefit many of you working on health and humanitarian supplies in Francophone countries! Full informtion (with French and English flyers) is available at this link: http://www.bioforce.asso.fr/spip.php?article1344
USAID recognizes that there is significant need for stronger supply
chain management skills for health systems in Francophone Africa, but
few opportunities for training. The USAID | DELIVER Project has
supported extremely successful and sought-after courses in supply chain
management for over a decade. Unfortunately, we have been largely
limited to English language training. However, we are now launching a
partnership with the renowned international NGO Bioforce and the World
Health Organization to deliver a regional Francophone course in supply
chain management. This will be a six day course from March 22-27 in
Ouagadougou, designed to increase participants' understanding of
logistics management and commodity planning and their abilities to
manage health commodities.
Thanks for your attention!
Very best wishes to all,
Kevin Pilz, Ph.D.
