Hostile Environment Awareness Training (HEAT)
Fri, 13 Feb 2026 03:15:25 +0000
HDFF’s Flagship “Hostile Environment Awareness Training HEAT(Advanced)” is an advanced
scenario based field safety training built to address the needs of implementing personnel
from (I)NGOs, media, governmental and UN agencies, international civilians, and
corporations. It is intended for individuals working, based, or traveling in high-risk “Red
Countries,” or high-risk areas within medium-risk countries (as classified by insurance and
foreign service advisories).
This HEAT training aims to improve participants’ security awareness and handling of
potentially dangerous situations in hostile environments while following relevant and
appropriate international regulations. Since this is a core responsibility for employers, this
training will also help enhance the organization’s "Duty of Care" profile. The HEAT
(Advanced) training is an engaging, scenario-based training that includes three days focused
on immersive, field-based scenario exercises. To complement the basic security knowledge,
a brief “Pre-HEAT online” module is offered before the practical topics. The training will be
led by experienced and culturally sensitive trainers, ensuring the safety of all participants.
Objectives:
- To increase the understanding of proactive security and basic field measures taken
before, during, and after a field mission in hostile environments. - To enhance the resilience of personnel in hazardous environments by knowing how to
manage dangerous situations and related stress, e.g. checkpoint behavior,
ambush/active shooter, hostile crowds, IED, weapons effects, kidnapping, rescue by
force, First Aid, and fire fighting in the field. - To make decisions effectively as a team leader and function as a supportive team
member in hostile environments and stressful situations, and gain a working
knowledge of PTSD, Moral Injury (MI), and Psychological First Aid (PFA).

Project Management and Risk Awareness & MEAL Framework: Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability, and Learning
Fri, 13 Feb 2026 01:59:03 +0000
GM.1. From Needs to Solutions – Project Management and Risk Awareness
Many (national) organizations that rely on donors for financial support to maintain, expand, and create programs must be able to write strong proposals, design needs-based projects, draft Log Frames and budgets and have a basic idea of Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning (MEAL). On top of that, a basic project risk assessment is crucial for any kind of project implementation as it helps in writing substantial assumptions in the Log Frame, thus improving the quality of proposals and, subsequently, the project implementation. This HDFF designed workshop seeks to build a strong understanding of the intertwined skills needed for safe project management using realistic scenario-based situations.
Objectives:
- Project/proposal design with the help of problem / objective tree.
- Log Frame as a major design, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation tool.
- Budgeting and planning of monitoring and evaluation of a project.
- Basic project risk management as an integral part of project management.
GM.4. MEAL: Measuring Impact, Driving Change
Monitoring should be considered as an attitude that underpins everything we do. In Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability, and Learning, one can get lost in forests of sophisticated Excel tables and endless data collection tools, and nearly drown in oceans of monitoring books treating it as a separate and sophisticated science. The more one gets into the topic, the more complex it appears and the more overwhelmed and confused one becomes. Therefore, HDFF, with its experience in M.E.A.L. as impact evaluators, designed an easy-to-understand 4 days MEAL course focusing on core tools and experience.
Objectives:
- To increase understanding of the essence of MEAL.
- To apply practical MEAL tools (Log Frame & indicators).
- To help participants understand the learning process going along with M.E.A.L.

Masterclass: Scaling Your NGO Through Individual Giving
Thu, 29 Jan 2026 04:38:38 +0000
