Women In Logistics - Ghazaleh Namini

Ghazaleh Namini is a fairly low key individual. She speaks softly and her relaxed gaze tends to make you feel as if you are asking all the wrong questions. She doesn't offer up much about her experiences running WFP's logistics operations in Iran but when she does she downplays the facts and emphasizes the importance of the mission.

 A few weeks ago we posted a story about the DRC team and the convoys they were running up to Dungu. WFP Logistics Officer Franck Aynes was kind enough to provide us with information about the operation for our post.

While Franck did not take the Dungu photos he has managed to capture some fantastic images depicting life in the field. We thought it appropriate that we dedicate a post to the daily life of a field officer shot from his perspective. Enjoy!

Off to work we go...in South Sudan

Yesterday (Monday), I honestly thought it was Wednesday. I think I've been a little too distracted with work and my co-workers arrivals and departures to be able to keep accurate track of what day it is. Perhaps I just need a break from writing.  Or, maybe it was just a MONDAY experience, straight up.

WFP just launched their new NFI tracking system but they don’t want you to use it

Why?  Because the new Temporary system is so darn cool that you might just fall in love with it and refuse to give it up when they roll out our even better Interim tracking system later this year. That’s right, this is just the first of several systems that the development team is working on. The Temporary system is an impressive piece of work and, despite the developers’ best efforts to downplay it’s functionality, we are going to spill the beans and tell you exactly what it can do. (Actually, they are thrilled that we’re giving you a first look.)
