- About me
- I have been an aid logistician since 2001, when I swapped my comfortable life in the corporate sector for a less comfortable but more rewarding career in aid work. Since then, I have worked as a field logistician, logistics coordinator, logistics consultant, and country manager. I have been involved in planning, implementation, and management of logistics systems as small as a single health structure, and as big as the health system of an entire country (pop. 75 million). And surprisingly, I still love what I am doing.

Michael Keizer replied to John Frum's discussion Basic logistics in the group Humanitarian Logistics"Humanitarian logistics is a pretty wide subject, so probably the best thing to do first is to define what part of it you would like to learn about first and work from there; there a few courses that more or less cover the entire width of the field…"

Michael Keizer replied to Zehra Rizvi's discussion Best resources on urban programming? in the group All Things Urban"You must have had some inside goss, because the latest issue of Disasters is dedicated to 'urban vulnerability and humanitarian response'. Some good reading in there.

Michael Keizer replied to Zehra Rizvi's discussion Best resources on urban programming? in the group All Things Urban"I would and even vehemently agree with you that we need to act in an integrated way... but having said that, we also need to keep in mind our own (human limitations); sadly, the time of the 'uomo universale' is long gone and you will have…"

Michael Keizer replied to Zehra Rizvi's discussion Best resources on urban programming? in the group All Things Urban"I don't have much on urban lovelihoods as I am more into urban health and I have never really delved into the lovelihoods issue -- even though there are (of course) a lot of cross-links between the two.
