economic and social modernisation and enhanced regional

integration,

Logismed project represents a global and integrated offer of

platforms forming a network across all MPC and linked to

partner countries, in particular EU Member States through

training which remains an important tool for bringing services

up to harmonized standards,

Training and education needs in logistics in MPCs.

Task 2: Synthesis of existing information, diagnosis and objectives definition

Study of the state of the art on logistics training in the EU and MEDA countries

Identification of the needs

First assessment of the situation

Task 3: First definition of a global LOGISMED training strategy

Idom proposed a double approach first work with the contracting authority to develop or review the vision and mission for the LOGISMEDTA and second this vision will be then “rewinded” and compared with project evolution of the logistics training needs and the existing caps with the offering.

Stage2: Training needs assessment and strategy

Task 4: Field work

In order to assure a good assessment about the

consistency of the findings obtained during stage one,

interviews, after defining their goals, with the experts

stakeholders of the selected countries should be set,

Also, and to assure an extensive vision of the current

picture of logistic training supply, an online survey will

be set up by the consultant.

Stage2: Training needs assessment and strategy

Task5: Proposal for the development of the LOGISMED training activities (LOGISMEDTA)

After studying the whole findings, the first step towards developing a training strategy is to identify possible areas of corporation (by identifying common needs round the selected countries).

A definitions of the LOGISMEDTA functions should be established including:

1. Define a common reference for logistics jobs,

2. Define a common model for logistics courses,

3. Define the parameters to assess the quality of training,

4. Create a pools of itinerant professors,

5. Define the features of a student exchange programme.

Stage2: Training needs assessment and strategy

Task 6: Proposal of adequate structures for logistic training

This task will carry the same logic as the previous one, in the sense of defining the training categories:

Define and characterize training categories

Study training demand

Study training offer: the existing offer in the MPCs

Define certification schema for each category

Task 7: Develop the structure needed to create a pool of instructors of trainers

Assessment of current availability of instructors

Establishment of a mechanism for common use of market resources

Stage3: Action plan

Task 8: Action plan for the implementation of the LOGISMED

training network in Syria, Egypt, Tunisia and Morocco

Development of an overall plan for the implementation

of the LOGISMEDTA

Develop country specific action plans for morocco,

Tunisia, Egypt and Syria.
