The UK and Australia are developing a joint supply chain resilience initiative to engage interested countries to develop and improve public sector approaches to managing critical supply chain risks. This will initially begin with a pilot project to determine further scope.

This initiative will support countries that want to:

• improve public sector approaches to building critical supply chain resilience
• strengthen global supply chains through shared learning and coordinated action
• build greater transparency into key global supply chains
• promote international action to respond to supply chain disruptions

It will include:

• a series of modules designed to support the capability of interested partner governments
• sharing approaches to strengthen critical and vulnerable supply chains and enhance global supply chain resilience for mutual benefit
