15 representatives from CARE Indonesia’s partner organizations, including the Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) and logistics vendors from 5 provinces, participated in a disaster response capacity-building training held in Jakarta (13-15/05). This initiative, led by CARE Indonesia in collaboration with CARE USA, aimed to prepare partners and vendors for effective collaboration in responding emergency situation in Indonesia.

Through discussion sessions, simulations, and case studies, participants gained a deeper understanding of the needs and logistics distribution involved in disaster response. It was emphasized that logistical support during emergencies must be tailored to reduce the burden on affected communities particularly women, who are among the most vulnerable groups during disasters.
