Humanitarian and development agencies play a very significant role in addressing the gaps in service delivery at community level. However, studies have shown that most of these agencies often lack requisite technical, financial and managerial capacity to effectively address these challenges. This has resulted in poor utilization of resources and consequently low impact from their interventions among target communities.
In order to bridge the prevalent institutional and programming capacity gaps of humanitarian and development agencies, IDEAL Public Health and Development Consultancy (IPHDC) has organized a five-day training on Organization Development and Systems Strengthening (ODSS). This approach is globally applied by funding agencies, intermediary organizations, capacity-building consultants and civil society organizations (CSOs).
What is the main training objective?
To strengthen institutional and programming capacity of humanitarian and development agencies for greater impact of their actions.
When is the training?
13th to 17th May 2024
Who should attend this training?
Administrators of development and humanitarian agencies, program managers, project managers and officers.
What are the key aspects of the training?
What learning approach and language will be used in the training?
The entire training will be facilitated in English.
The training delivery method includes interactive webinar sessions, PowerPoint presentations, articles, videos, quizzes and assessments.
Interested individuals should complete our Course Application Form and submit it before Sunday 12th May 2024.

El próximo 16 de mayo a las 16.00H (UTC+2) | 9.00H (UTC-5) celebramos el seminario virtual «Programas de transferencias monetarias y protección: Perspectivas y experiencias».
El uso de programas de transferencias monetarias (PTM) humanitarios ya representa el 20% del total de la asistencia humanitaria global. En los últimos años, los actores que están usando PTM para fines de protección han producido una plétora de evidencia, guías y herramientas sobe los PTM y protección. Sin embargo, el uso de PTM para fines de protección es el sector que menos reporta usarlos. Hay una brecha notable entre la aplicación de los recursos disponibles y la practica en respuesta humanitaria.
Con el propósito de incrementar el conocimiento de buenas prácticas, crear espacios de intercambio y mejorar la calidad de los PTM para protección, la Agencia Española de Cooperación Internacional para el Desarrollo (AECID), el Instituto de Estudios sobre Conflictos y Acción Humanitaria (IECAH), el Task Team de Cash para Protección del Clúster Global de Protección y la CALP Network convoca este taller sobre PTM y Protección.
El taller tiene un carácter práctico y alternará las presentaciones teóricas con la exposición de casos prácticos en grupos reducidos en los cuales se conocerán experiencias de diversas instituciones (ONG y organismos internacionales). El taller se facilitará en línea a través de la plataforma Microsoft Teams.
Adicionalmente se compartirán una serie de lecturas recomendadas para orientar sobre la temática del taller a las personas seleccionadas.

Descripción del curso
Vivimos un momento en el que los ataques violentos a organizaciones y trabajadores humanitarios son habituales. Es importante que las organizaciones humanitarias tomen medidas proactivas para garantizar que su personal desplegado en terreno esté adecuadamente capacitado para trabajar en entornos peligrosos y de alto riesgo.
Los participantes del HEAT-TECC aprenden principalmente a reconocer, analizar y evitar riesgos; si sucede lo peor, se les enseña a reaccionar de una manera que maximice su probabilidad de sobrevivir.
HEAT-TECC es un curso residencial de 4 días diseñado por trabajadores humanitarios para trabajadores humanitarios cuya actividad los lleva a áreas remotas difíciles u hostiles. En zonas de gobiernos débiles, conflicto, desastres naturales y guerra, llevar a cabo un proyecto puede ser arriesgado. Los asaltos violentos, los robos, las emboscadas o los secuestros son peligros muy reales. Muy a menudo, las instalaciones médicas son pocas y no están al alcance.
La capacitación es impartida por formadores experimentados y profesionales con una amplia experiencia en terreno, lo que brinda a los participantes la confianza y las habilidades para operar fuera de sus zonas de confort habituales. Esta edición en español se implementa en colaboración entre SAHCO y La Cooperativa Humanitaria; ambas entidades acumulan una gran experiencia en el sector humanitario, en consultoría técnica y en la impartición de formaciones enfocadas a organizaciones y trabajadores del sector humanitario.
Metodología
El curso está diseñado para ser informativo y altamente participativo, combinando un 75 % de desafíos prácticos con un 25 % de teoría relevante impulsada a través del aprendizaje colaborativo. Los métodos del curso se basan en juegos de roles, simulaciones realistas y un escenario continuo que mantendrá a los participantes inmersos en esa realidad durante cuatro días.
Los participantes se convertirán en miembros de un equipo que evaluará una crisis en un país extranjero. El escenario comienza a la llegada al lugar del curso y termina después de cuatro días. La teoría y el aprendizaje práctico se combinan con escenarios actualizados que requieren la toma de decisiones y la acción en equipo. Los participantes viajarán a distintos lugares y se confrontarán con dilemas éticos, situaciones hostiles y presiones constantes por la inseguridad.
La carga lectiva del curso es de un total de 30 horas en horario de mañana, tarde y noche.
Objetivos de aprendizaje y contenido
Gestión inclusiva de riesgos
La capacitación se basa en los principios fundamentales de la seguridad y la protección de forma inclusiva e integrada con el fin de que los participantes comprendan su rol individual al garantizar su propia seguridad y la de todo el equipo. La seguridad inclusiva e integrada permite que los programas y las operaciones funcionen de la manera más eficiente y segura posible. Se tratarán principalmente:
Preparación personal
Primeros auxilios en un entorno aislado
La confianza en la prestación de primeros auxilios con el material necesario o en situaciones límite, la realización de una valoración vital primaria y secundaria, la estabilización de hemorragias, fracturas, quemaduras graves y otras lesiones pueden ayudar a reducir la tasa de mortalidad y lesiones graves en cualquier contexto.
Mitigación del riesgo de abducción, supervivencia y respuesta
El personal sabrá exactamente qué hacer si el secuestro es una amenaza inmediata, y qué hacer en caso de que el secuestro realmente suceda:
Coste e inscripciones
El precio del curso HEAT – TECC en Colombia es de 1.900USD por participante, alojamiento (en habitaciones compartidas de máximo 2 personas) y manutención incluidos. Para organizaciones interesadas en cerrar una edición exclusiva con mínimo 16 participantes, el precio es de 1.800USD por participante. El coste incluye 4 noches, desde la noche anterior al inicio del curso.

The Health Emergencies in Large Populations (HELP) course was initiated by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and is offered by the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in joint collaboration with PAHO/WHO and the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing. For more than 25 years, the HELP course has offered humanitarian workers an intensive training experience in public health principles and disaster epidemiology. The course was founded based on the need for humanitarian workers to acquire a holistic understanding of the needs of refugees, internally displaced persons, and others affected by natural disasters and conflict in order to more effectively manage health crises in emergency settings.
The goal of HELP is to create an understanding of the public health needs of populations in disaster and conflict situations. This includes the background, underlying causes, and the dynamics that cause populations to be vulnerable in emergencies. Topics covered during the course include disaster management, food security and nutrition, environmental health, health and surveillance systems, humanitarian ethics, human rights and human security, conflict origins, and security for aid workers.
HELP includes lectures with the sector’s leading practitioners and academics. Through in-class assignments and group exercises, participants gain important skills necessary for humanitarian response, including skills in epidemiological methods and management of health emergencies.
The HELP course is typically offered twice per year, over two weeks in January (virtual) and July (in-person).
All healthcare and public health professionals working in large-scale health emergencies and humanitarian assistance should consider attending the course.
Previous participants have come from a variety of civil society, governmental, and private organizations and include nurses, physicians, public health professionals and humanitarian aid workers focused on health in humanitarian emergencies.
You can now apply for the in-person course in July 2024. This course will run from 15-26 July 2024. Some people might be able to receive a discount on the course fees.
Further details can be found on: http://hopkinshumanitarianhealth.org/education/help-course/

Student Feedback:
“Very good blending of learning methods aiming to improve knowledge and application in daily work of PMIS concepts. Highly theoretical course, missing the conversion of the theory into a practical application embedded in the course curricula.” - Manuela Gazibar, World Vision – Romania*
“This was one of the most well organized, researched and structured eLearning course I have ever done with tremendous support from the tutor as if he knew me personally who even wrote to me to enquire if I had any challenges when I lagged behind and offered to help in any way possible. This personal touch made me feel special and encouraged me triple-fold. I have already used some of the skills even before completion and I could see from my boss that he was very impressed with the WBS logframe, and asked me to share it with our Regional Office.” Malindi Kaima, Child Fund International – Zambia
“Excellent course teaching fundamentals and processes behind the development of an effective information management system, with the right focus on automation and technological tools. Extremely helpful in situated the mindset required for complex information management. Thank you!” Arnab Majumdar, MSF Canada – Canada
