Updating of the ILO Country Office Dar es salaam Inventory Records
INTRODUCTION:
Asset
management is the process of making best use of an organisation’s
properties in order to maximise shareholder value and to provide the
best possible returns to other stakeholders in the organisation. All
organisations have a range of assets. These include highly fixed assets,
such as buildings and plant equipment, vehicles, furniture and
fittings. It is important for a business to manage its assets and make
them work to obtain the best possible returns. Ineffective asset
management leads to wasted resources. It
is in this regards, ILO Country Office Dar es salaam would like to
update its Asset Register database (INI) and Asset trucking sheet to
enable the office to monitor the acquisition and disposal of several
pounds worth of its Office and Development Cooperation projects

Equipment allocated to their project. They are expected to maintain
