Course Overview
This course aims to shed light on the continuum of humanitarian crisis management, particularly from the viewpoint of major bilateral donors and agencies. Focusing on cases of armed conflicts and disasters, the course describes the evolution of approaches and lessons learnt in practice when moving from emergency relief to recovery and prevention of future crises.
The course responds to the need for qualified workers in disaster relief and development, in government and non-government agencies, who are involved in humanitarian operations and development practice. The course addresses challenges and opportunities associated with various forms of national and international migration, public health programing, preparedness and response, and building the resilience of vulnerable populations.
The purpose of the course is for the practical application of specialized theoretical knowledge in humanitarian and development contexts.
