Introduction

What is humanitarian logistics management? Humanitarian logistics is a branch that specializes in managing the transportation and warehousing of goods to impacted areas and individuals during natural disasters or complicated events. However, this description focuses solely on the actual movement of commodities to their final destinations. In fact, humanitarian logistics is significantly more multifaceted, encompassing resource planning and optimization, inventory management, and information exchange. What skills do humanitarian logisticians need? A broader definition of humanitarian logistics is “the process of controlling and executing cost-effective flow of materials with relevant information beginning from the origin and to the point of consumption. This is done with the intention of alleviating the suffering of vulnerable individuals. The skills needed by logisticians are aligned with this definition. Through cautious handling and storage of humanitarian cargo, the training will directly aid in avoiding resource waste. Participants will also get a basic understanding of procurement principles and processes to reduce the risk of fraud or erroneous sourcing.
