Health Emergencies in Large Populations (HELP)

Wed, 17 Apr 2024 04:43:09 +0000

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.

22 Apr 2024, 18:30 - 19:30 Asia/Tokyo

On 22 April 2024, UNU will host “The Future of Education — Challenges and Opportunities for Integrating the SDGs and Global Citizenship into High School Education”, a conversation with Malcolm McKenzie, the Head of School at United World Colleges ISAK Japan. This event will start at 18:30 in the 2F Reception Hall at UNU Headquarters in Tokyo.

In an era where global challenges demand innovative and unified responses, education stands at the forefront of change, holding the key to a sustainable future. The integration of the Sustainable Development Goals and the concept of global citizenship into high school education represents a significant shift towards preparing students to tackle complex challenges in the future.

UWC ISAK Japan is dedicated to making education a means to unite people, nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future.

Mr. Malcolm McKenzie will join UNU Rector Tshilidzi Marwala for a conversation exploring the hurdles and prospects of embedding peace and sustainability in high school education by drawing on examples of UWC ISAK Japan's pioneering efforts to empower its students to be transformational future leaders. What role can high schools play in promoting peace and sustainability? What effect will emerging technologies like generative AI have on the future of education? How do we cultivate the next generation of leaders to have an empathetic and positive impact on the world?

The UNU Conversation Series aims to foster audience participation; you are encouraged to engage with the speakers during the conversation and at the reception that will follow, where all event attendees are invited to enjoy hors d’oeuvres and drinks while exchanging ideas and making new contacts.

His career is marked by leading several boarding schools in Botswana, the US, the UK and China, where he has developed innovative programmes that emphasize inclusivity, global citizenship, and leadership skills. His educational philosophy focuses on the transformative power of education, aiming to prepare young students to navigate and address global challenges with empathy, innovation and cultural sensitivity.

Online Certificate Course - Organizational Project Management for Development Organizations and NGOs

Tue, 16 Apr 2024 01:36:10 +0000

Organizational Project Management (OPM) is defined as the execution of an organization's strategies through projects by combining the systems of portfolio management, program management, and project management.

OPM is based on the idea that there is a correlation between an organization’s capabilities in project, program, and portfolio management, and the organization’s effectiveness in implementing its strategy. The goal of an organization’s strategy is the translation of its vision and mission into specific actions that will deliver maximum value to its stakeholders, including donors and beneficiaries. Achieving the strategy ensures continued growth in development results and sustainable competitive advantage. This is especially true in today’s increasingly competitive global environment, where organizations are constantly seeking ways to improve their capabilities and performance in the delivery of their strategy.

The goal of OPM is to ensure organizations are doing the right projects and that the projects are doing the right things.

This is an advanced course on the concepts, processes, and methods required to ensure that all projects and programs are aligned with the organization’s development goals. OPM is a flexible framework that facilitates the integration of all projects and programs to support the organization's development goals. This course is especially useful for anyone working in a development organization that is seeking to improve the delivery of a project, program and ensure they are aligned with the strategic objectives, this course is particularly beneficial for organizations that do not have a unified project management approach and those in the process of improving or sustaining their current project management framework.

Student Feedback

"I dare say, "Organizational Project Management" is a must for everyone involved in the business of executing projects for development irrespective of his/her role in the project team. Every development organization should mandate all its project and program managers to take this course if not already so done! The earlier the best!" Henry Njakoi, Tanzania.

"This is one of the best online courses I have ever done in my 15 years career in the Not-for-Profit sector and it has greatly improved my knowledge on the relevance of introducing a holistic approach to manage development projects through the Organizational Project Management (OPM) framework. The value addition of a good OPM is enormous and I can't wait to start implementing it in any organization I work for. This course is useful for everyone working in the Not-for-Profit sector where project implementation is the channel through which the goal and objectives of the organizational strategy are achieved. " Mohamed Silla, ActionAid - Sierra Leone.

"I am not new in the field of project management. In fact, I have been a PM practitioner for many years now. But I got pleasantly surprised (and humbled) to realize through this course, our teacher and through my co-learners that I still have much to learn about it. I am glad I chose to enroll in this new course of PM4DEV at this time, as it has been a very enriching, mentally stimulating and mindset changing experience for me. Very grateful indeed!
