MANAGING ECHO HUMANITARIAN ACTIONS

ONLINE COURSE - VIRTUAL CLASSROOM 

20% discount to the organizations wishing to enrol 2 or more employees

 

Humanitarian aid aims at saving lives, alleviating suffering and protecting human dignity during and in the aftermath of emergencies through material and logistical assistance. Most part of humanitarian aid operations are funded by public institutions, and the European Union represents the world's biggest donor of humanitarian aid. The Directorate-General for European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (DG ECHO) implements humanitarian operations, through the cooperation with over 200 partners (United Nations agencies, non-governmental organizations and international organizations). In partnership with these humanitarian organisations DG ECHO has a very fast response capacity which allows funding and staff to be rapidly deployed to where help is most needed. In recent years, increased need for accountability and transparency led to the definition of a more complex set of regulations, defining roles and responsibility of DG ECHO and its partners.

That is why the availability of trained professionals is crucial to ensure an adequate, effective, equitable and flexible delivery of Aid. Likewise, knowledge on how to apply DG ECHO rules and procedures represents the first key element in the education of young professionals willing to work in the field of humanitarian aid.  

The training, developed in the context of the Framework Contract signed between ECHO and the Consortium lead by punto.sud in 2013, provides an in depth analysis on how to propose and manage DG ECHO funded Actions.   

The course is delivered in partnership with 

 

 

PROGRAMME

During the 3-day training, the Intensive Course: Managing ECHO Humanitarian Action will touch upon the following issues:

  • DG ECHO overview (mandate, decision making process);
  • Action planning phase (proposal preparation and submission);

  • Action closure phase (closure activities, final reporting and payment).

 

The course is open and suitable for university students, graduates, professionals and operators looking to work in the field of humanitarian aid, especially in DG ECHO programs. This course serves both as introduction to and specialization on DG ECHO specific procedures and policies. However, students or professionals without a specific knowledge on project cycle management, are strongly encouraged to review some preparation material (available for download on the dedicated platform) to better follow some more specific contents.

The courses will be online, on 25-26-26 May 2023, from 9.30 am to 4.30 pm. 

All classes will be held in English. Staff and experts come from punto.sud and are experienced workers at both HQ and field levels of DG ECHO programmes, specialized in delivering trainings according to established quality criteria for adult learning.
