Countries considering the resilience of their critical supply chains can register their interest in the initiative designed to support them in developing their approach.
The UK and Australia are developing a joint supply chain resilience capability building 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.

It will include:
