Panel Sessions & Presentations

Get ready to learn and be inspired by our inspiring speakers from the supply chain and logistics world. Both days will see experts, innovators and boundary-breaking pioneers present on Sustainable Local Procurement, Health Supply Chain Capacity Strengthening and ‘Last Mile’ Transportation/Delivery.

We look forward to hearing from Regional, National and International voices from INGOs, NGOs, Universities and Organizations.

Each panelist will share their experiences and engage in highly interactive workshops to gain an understanding into the challenges faced by logistics and supply chain colleagues in varying contexts.

2023 Topics

1. Sustainable Local Procurement: focusing on barriers to selling into the public health and aid sectors, working to strengthen policy around local manufacturing, quality assurance challenges, environmental issues and support to local suppliers
2. Health Supply Chain Capacity Development: highlighting how the current public health and aid systems can better support health service logistics and workforce capacity development in conflict zones, fragile states and developing economies, with a focus on critical delivery mechanisms such as mass vaccination
3. Last Mile Delivery: showcasing the latest product innovations in transport technology but also ways to address the challenges in accessing remote communities due to poor infrastructure, outdated transport policies and a lack of resources.
4. Crosscutting Issues: environmental sustainability and benefits of identifying collaborations which have emerged from recent supply chain experiences and how crises have heightened the need to focus on the localisation agenda.

Panelists will present on progress and challenges to Sustainable Local Procurement, Health & Humanitarian Supply Chain Capacity, and Last Mile Delivery. Presentations will be followed by three breakout workshops - one on each topic.
