Logistics Management and CIQ Procedures Training by AHA Centre
Efficient humanitarian logistics and streamlined Customs, Immigration, and Quarantine (CIQ) are essential for effective coordination and prompt delivery of assistance during disasters. In the context of ASEAN disaster operations, these aspects become more critical as this region is prone to natural disasters.
Realising its importance, the AHA Centre organised the Logistics Management and CIQ Procedures Training on 11-15 March 2024 in Metro Manila, the Philippines. Hosted by the Philippines Office of Civil Defense Civil Defense PH, the training aimed to equip participants of the ASEAN NDMOs and the AHA Centre, with the knowledge and skills required to effectively manage humanitarian logistics operations during disasters and emergencies.
Through theoretical sessions, case studies, and field visits to the DELSA Satellite Warehouse in Camp Aguinaldo and the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Warehouse, participants gained an in-depth understanding of the principles and practice of logistics management and CIQ procedures, with a focus on disaster response operations.
The Logistics Management and CIQ Procedures Training is supported by the Government of Japan through the Japan-ASEAN Integration Fund (JAIF) and HELP Logistics.
