| Description |
This is a two-week training
workshop on an introduction to the basics of international humanitarian
response, adapted from the UNHCR Emergency Management Training Programme
(EMTP) Workshop which has been continuously organized for the benefit of
its staff since its first introduction in 1985. The objectives of this core
training workshop are to acquaint the participants with the purpose and
goals of emergency management, illustrate the needs for general management
skills and demonstrate specific applications of emergency management skills
in priority areas such as planning, logistics, health, water/sanitation,
shelter and nutrition, as well as to offer the opportunity to exchange experience
and lessons learned. |
