Training Workshop: Building Capacity to Improve Pharmaceutical and Medical Management in Humanitarian and Disaster Settings
June 23rd, 2021 | event
In coordination with USAID’s Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance (BHA), we are implementing the Building Capacity to Improve Pharmaceutical and Medical Commodity (PMC) Management in Humanitarian and Disaster Settings program. A major part of this program is to conduct PMC supply chain capacity-building activities, including a regional training workshop in Kenya. The target group for this workshop is BHA implementing partner mid-level country or regional staff with health supply chain responsibilities. This workshop will be hosted in Nairobi, Kenya from August 23-27, 2021.
Please note JSI will not sponsor attendance at this workshop and will prioritize BHA implementing partners. In addition, due to COVID-19 restrictions, JSI will not be facilitating travel either international or domestic from locations outside of Nairobi.
After completing the workshop, participants will be able to:
- Demonstrate knowledge of supply chain principles through the completion of the e-learning course and review of the addendum to Supply Chain Managers Handbook, Supply Chain Management for Healthcare in Humanitarian Response Settings.
- Identify essential logistics data to collect and report, processes for analysis, and information to share across multiple partners to improve commodity availability and monitor supply chain performance during humanitarian crises.
- Describe best practices for product selection, procurement, quantification, inventory management practices, warehousing and distribution for kits and individual products when preparing for, responding to, and recovering from disasters.
- Apply principles learned through participation in site visit assessments and assignments during the workshop.
- Present an action plan for implementing one or more supply chain management improvement interventions for their own programs to help improve disaster response.
