Managing Relief and Development Operations During and After Disasters and Crises
This course focuses on understanding and managing the complexities
of delivering humanitarian aid during disasters and protracted crises—whether
caused by natural hazards such as floods and earthquakes or by armed conflicts
and epidemics. It aims to equip participants with the skills to support a
gradual transition toward sustainable development throughout recovery and
reconstruction phases. The training curriculum prioritizes
resource-limited environments and cultural sensitivity, aligning with
international frameworks such as the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk
Reduction and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It also integrates
lessons learned from real-world experiences in regions such as South Asia,
Sub-Saharan Africa, and Latin America, with the goal of fostering practices
based on collaboration, resource efficiency, reduced dependency on external
aid, and strengthened local resilience and response capacity.
