A one-day awareness workshop on the evaluation of preparedness for effective response was held for a number of directors, advisors, and heads of independent units at the central headquarters of the ARCS.

At the opening of the workshop, Mawlawi Rohullah Abdul Salam, Under-Secretary General for Operational Affairs, emphasized the importance of effective response and preparedness, describing staff capacity-building in this area as essential.

He added that addressing shortcomings leads to institutional progress, while repeating them slows down operations. He stressed the need for serious attention to improving processes to ensure that timely and effective services are delivered to affected communities.
