Global Learning for Operational Leaders
Introduction
Course overview
Natural disasters, conflicts, epidemics and displacement crises affect millions of people every year. Effective humanitarian response depends on rapid assessment, principled action and close coordination between governments, international agencies, non-governmental organisations, the private sector and affected communities themselves.
This Humanitarian Crisis Response and Coordination training course provides a practical introduction to how humanitarian responses are organised and delivered. Participants learn about humanitarian principles and standards, coordination mechanisms, needs assessment, response planning, logistics and supply, protection and accountability to affected people, and the transition to recovery.
The course is relevant to professionals in humanitarian organisations, government agencies and companies that support relief efforts or operate in crisis-affected areas.
