response facilities supported by this project.
Utilizing the stocks of operational support equipment pre-positioned in various locations across the country, this
Special Operation supported the efforts of DSWD in NROC throughout the year with hermetic sealed cocoons to
ensure better quality monitoring of food stocks and in the field during the response to Typhoon Haima (local name
Lawin). This enabled the government response teams to provide timely food assistance with higher quality
standards.
A large part of the capacity strengthening provided to national counterparts was channeled through strategic level
courses on supply chain management and technical logistics training. The roll-out of the curriculum is also designed
to create a network of partners who can be tapped in times of disaster response, to assist government operations.
Trainings conducted to date have included government officials from DSWD and OCD, with the involvement of other
partner organizations, and have contributed to enhance their capacities and their network in the fields of disaster
response and emergency logistics. In a promising development, DSWD has commenced self-implementation of
some trainings utilizing the WFP-developed curriculum.
