Chartered Institute of Logistics & Transport launches in Namibia
On Wednesday March 16th, 8.30 a.m. sees the launch of the CILT Namibia Chartered Institute of Logistics & Transport branch, at the Country Club Hotel, Windhoek.
CILT is the international professional body for logisticians, supply chain and transport professionals.
With logistics identified as one of Namibia’s key economic priority areas in NDP 4, and the qualifying of Namibia’s first logistics & supply chain management bachelors and masters graduates these past two years, it is the right time to launch the Chartered Institute of Logistics & Transport in Namibia.
Established in 1926 by the Royal Charter in the United Kingdom, CILT has grown to become the preeminent membership organisation worldwide for logistics and transport managers, supervisors as well as workers, all of whom are keen to grow and share their knowledge and continuously raise the level of professionalism of this sector.
At the 16th of March meeting, the opportunity will be taken to identify team members that could assist with the launch. Members should be representatives of the logistics and transport industry, academic institutions and students.
The following months should see the CILT Namibia branch formally registered with the relevant authorities as a professional body, and a series of logistics & transport company site visits organised in order to share best practice. Professor Eugene Madjeski Deputy Director Marketing and Logistics of Namibia University of Science and Technology said:’ The fact that CILT now has a branch in Namibia is testimony to the professionalization of the Logistics & Transportation sector in Namibia, a sector that is the absolute foundation of the economy.’
If you as an organisation, or as an individual, are keen to take this opportunity to add to the professionalisation of this key component in Namibia’s economic growth. Then you are warmly invited to attend and participate in the launch of CILT Namibia on Wednesday, March 16 at 08:30 at the Country Club.
