CTG Logistics Management & Operations Officer Jobs in Ethiopia

Over the years, Ethiopia has faced numerous challenges with the inefficient management of goods moving through its supply chain.

Being a landlocked country with limited corridors for import & export of goods, including humanitarian relief, Ethiopia has been lacking adequate logistics management systems, good infrastructure & key skills in the logistic sector.

Faced with a need to sustain double-digit economic growth rates that have been seen over the past decade, the Government of Ethiopia (GoE) recognizes the criticality of an improved logistics sector in order to become a Middle Income Country by 2025.

To sustain its development trajectory envisioned for 2025, the GoE has been working with several development partners to identify gaps, constraints & potential areas of development for an effective and efficient logistics system.

Following these assessments & through alignment with the GoE’s priorities as laid out in key strategic documents (the 2018 Ethiopia Humanitarian & Disaster Resilience Plan & the 2015 National Freight Logistics Strategy for Ethiopia), the following priorities for improvement in supply chain have been identified: congested entry ports, storage infrastructure, emergency preparedness, commodity management, tracking, food quality control & supply chain information management.

In this context, our client has developed targeted initiatives to help strengthen the GoE’s supply chain capacity in these priority areas over a five-year period, in conformity with their global & country strategic objectives.
