ABOUT THE PtD GLOBAL INDABA

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic the human resource (HR) crisis in health supply chain management (SCM) in low-income countries is as serious as ever. With eight years remaining to achieve the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) target of universal health coverage, a greater emphasis must be paid to the health workforce, including those who manage the health supply chain. The SDG targets simply cannot be achieved without an adequately-staffed and skilled health workforce.

Given the growing importance of the topic of workforce development in health supply chains, and the recognition of the urgent need for action, People that Deliver (PtD) is hosting the PtD Global Indaba, an international forum with a dedicated focus on HR for SCM. It will be a space to present and share the significant experiences and knowledge that has been generated in this area in recent years.

What in the world is an Indaba?

Indaba is a word in the Zulu language that means “gathering” or “discussion.” An eclectic event deserves a unique name, which is why we chose to call this event an “Indaba.”

Promote inter-organisational relationships between SCM organisations, academic institutions and private sector entities
