K + N Ghana to handle emergency and relief logistics for IDA Foundation

October 6, 2017: Transport and logistics company, Kuehne + Nagel Ghana will ship one hundred and fifty 40 feet containers of mosquito nets to Ghana’s Ministry of Health. The operations have been successfully taken up by the newly opened branch office in Accra after the contract was awarded by the IDA Foundation.

In one month’s time, Kuehne + Nagel will ship the significant amount of mosquito nets from Denmark to Ghana. These nets will be distributed to local health centres as part of a national campaign against malaria. For Kuehne + Nagel Middle East and Africa, emergency and relief logistics is a major focus.

The cooperation with the IDA Foundation showcases the company’s extensive experience to provide freight forwarding and tailor-made logistics services for a broad range of customers and industries.

“Kuehne + Nagel Ghana is delighted to assist the IDA Foundation in accomplishing this humanitarian aid project and we look forward to creating a meaningful partnership to support the progress of the region in the coming years,” says Jeffrey JO Peprah, national manager, Kuehne + Nagel, Ghana.

Aligned with the business development efforts in the region, additional initiatives have been set off to increase awareness of customers in the humanitarian aid sector. With its strategic location, the Kuehne + Nagel office branch in Accra is well positioned to provide cross-border forwarding and industry-specific logistics solutions to customers operating in West Africa, specifically in Ghana and its neighbouring countries.
