Logistics Coordinator/Officer

LEARN Logistics by Kühne Foundation is a German registered charity established to support universities in African countries in the sustainable development and expansion of teaching and research capacities in logistics and supply chain management. LEARN Logistics pursues the approach of cross-functional logistics systems and promotes other sectors, such as health and agriculture, in addition to the commercial market. 

LEARN works in regions where public or private funding and local resources are insufficient to deliver the required LSCM education and to meet international quality standards. Together with local universities, the program offers training opportunities tailored to the specific needs and requirements of the countries. The development of such a high-quality education system is achieved through multilateral partnerships between internationally leading higher education institutions in high-income countries and selected universities in low-income countries in East and partly West Africa.
