This course presents the principles of Project Design, Monitoring and Evaluation (DM&E) cycle. DM&E is a critical element of development projects as it provides the information needed to make decisions for project management, improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the interventions and satisfy accountability requirements.

This course will enable you to understand and put into practice the principles of sound results-based monitoring and evaluation methodology in your project; you will build an understanding of the most common processes, tools, techniques, and theories that are necessary to monitor and evaluate a project. This course examines the defining characteristics of monitoring and evaluation techniques and introduces the student to a variety of project management techniques that can be applied in a development project context. Through case study exercises and group discussions, participants will learn the links between design, monitoring and project evaluation. This course will stimulate ideas on how to design and implement monitoring and evaluation processes that strengthen accountability and learning and contribute to project effectiveness.

The course is based on an interactive case-study approach, with hands-on exercises, homework reading materials, participant presentations, and online discussions. It focuses on peer learning and exchanging information on practical experiences in monitoring and evaluation. The online course has a duration of three weeks. Each week, the instructor will provide instructions to help students complete the required assignments. Students will participate in discussions and receive feedback from the course instructor, and have access to videos, lectures, tests, and assignments that can be accessed at any time. Students will apply their understanding in case study exercises that will be reinforced with feedback from the instructor.

As a student, you will follow a detailed schedule to complete the assigned activities, participate in discussion forums, and submit their exercises in order to receive a grade. Successful completion of all the course requirements will lead to the award of a Certificate of Completion.

Organization: Johns Hopkins University
Start date: 15 Jul 2024
End date: 26 Jul 2024
Registration deadline: 7 Jun 2024

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.

Descripción del curso

Vivimos un momento en el que los ataques violentos a organizaciones y trabajadores humanitarios son habituales. Es importante que las organizaciones humanitarias tomen medidas proactivas para garantizar que su personal desplegado en terreno esté adecuadamente capacitado para trabajar en entornos peligrosos y de alto riesgo.

Los participantes del HEAT-TECC aprenden principalmente a reconocer, analizar y evitar riesgos; si sucede lo peor, se les enseña a reaccionar de una manera que maximice su probabilidad de sobrevivir.

HEAT-TECC es un curso residencial de 4 díasdiseñado por trabajadores humanitarios para trabajadores humanitarios cuya actividad los lleva a áreas remotas difíciles u hostiles. En zonas de gobiernos débiles, conflicto, desastres naturales y guerra, llevar a cabo un proyecto puede ser arriesgado. Los asaltos violentos, los robos, las emboscadas o los secuestros son peligros muy reales. Muy a menudo, las instalaciones médicas son pocas y no están al alcance.

La capacitación es impartida por formadores experimentados y profesionales con una amplia experiencia en terreno, lo que brinda a los participantes la confianza y las habilidades para operar fuera de sus zonas de confort habituales. Esta edición en español se implementa en colaboración entre SAHCO y La Cooperativa Humanitaria; ambas entidades acumulan una gran experiencia en el sector humanitario, en consultoría técnica y en la impartición de formaciones enfocadas a organizaciones y trabajadores del sector humanitario.

Metodología

El curso está diseñado para ser informativo y altamente participativo, combinando un 75 % de desafíos prácticos con un 25 % de teoría relevante impulsada a través del aprendizaje colaborativo. Los métodos del curso se basan en juegos de roles, simulaciones realistas y un escenario continuo que mantendrá a los participantes inmersos en esa realidad durante cuatro días.

Los participantes se convertirán en miembros de un equipo que evaluará una crisis en un país extranjero. El escenario comienza a la llegada al lugar del curso y termina después de cuatro días. La teoría y el aprendizaje práctico se combinan con escenarios actualizados que requieren la toma de decisiones y la acción en equipo. Los participantes viajarán a distintos lugares y se confrontarán con dilemas éticos, situaciones hostiles y presiones constantes por la inseguridad.

La carga lectiva del curso es de un total de 30 horas en horario de mañana, tarde y noche.

Objetivos de aprendizaje y contenido

Gestión inclusiva de riesgos

La capacitación se basa en los principios fundamentales de la seguridad y la protección de forma inclusiva e integrada con el fin de que los participantes comprendan su rol individual al garantizar su propia seguridad y la de todo el equipo. La seguridad inclusiva e integrada permite que los programas y las operaciones funcionen de la manera más eficiente y segura posible. Se tratarán principalmente:

  • Principios Clave del Marco de Gestión de la Seguridad: Análisis Contextual y Mapeo de Actores.
  • El papel de las diferentes estrategias de seguridad, incluida la aceptación, la protección y la disuasión.

Preparación personal

  • Análisis, anticipación y mitigación de riesgos de seguridad y protección.
  • Manejo del estrés y desarrollo de la resiliencia psicológica

La confianza en la prestación de primeros auxilios con el material necesario o en situaciones límite, la realización de una valoración vital primaria y secundaria, la estabilización de hemorragias, fracturas, quemaduras graves y otras lesiones pueden ayudar a reducir la tasa de mortalidad y lesiones graves en cualquier contexto.

  • Introducción al protocolo médico MARCHE
  • Control de sangrado
  • Víctimas inconscientes, fracturas y quemaduras
  • Colisiones de tránsito y respuesta de primeros auxilios
  • Emergencias Médicas No Traumáticas

  • Indicadores para anticipar secuestros o tomas de rehenes
  • Cómo mitigar los riesgos
  • Cómo sobrevivir a la captura y vivir en cautiverio

With the intention to gather the learnings and reflection from the ongoing dzud early action and response, the regional CWG, Mongolia CWG, and CALP Network, felt the need to gather humanitarian agencies involved in CVA programming for a learning event.

To achieve this, the CWG and CALP Network will organize a six-day learning event, with two-pronged approaches: (1) Lessons learned workshop, and (2) Capacity-support through a training. The Mongolia CWG will lead the learning workshop to review, learn, and plan based on its dzud anticipatory action and responses (one day). CALP Network will deliver the Core CVA Skills for Programme Staff training (five days). CALP will commission a certified trainer to lead the training with the support of two (2) co-facilitators. The lead trainer will also co-facilitate and document the learning workshop.

Below are the specific objectives of this approach:

CVA Lessons Learned Workshop

By the end of this workshop, the CWG members have:

  1. Identified and synthesized the enabling factors and challenges that impeded the delivery of CVA during the 2024 dzud response.
  2. Agreed on plans to address the priority issues affecting planning and delivery, and coordination.

Core CVA Skills for Programme Staff Training

This course is structured around the project cycle and covers all the key skills required to design, implement and monitor cash and voucher assistance. The course is focused on a technical/programmatic perspective and incorporates examples and case studies from multiple sectors. Therefore, this course is for programme staff responsible for designing, implementing, and monitoring cash and voucher programmes.

Course Aim

To develop the knowledge, skills, and confidence of humanitarian practitioners for cash and voucher assistance (CVA) technical design and quality.

Course Objectives

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

  1. Discuss the opportunities and challenges to delivering high quality CVA as part of humanitarian response.
  2. Use various assessments, including market assessment tools, to inform CVA appropriateness.
  3. Analyse assessment data to choose modality, delivery mechanism and transfer value.
  4. Ensure accountability towards affected populations during the CVA design and implementation process.
  5. Incorporate CVA and markets in monitoring frameworks.
  6. Identify best practices for CVA quality and sustainability.
  7. Navigate the existing tools, guidance, cases studies and research documents to find the most relevant and up-to-date information on CVA-related themes.

Target Participants

The lessons learned workshop and the CVA training invites practitioners that are involved in the CVA programming in Mongolia. The event is most suited to people with the following profile.

  • Must be involved in designing, implementing, or monitoring CVA programs within local non-government organizations (NGO), community-based organizations (CBO), United Nations agency, international NGO, or government sectors.
  • Willingness to contribute in discussions to highlight the strengths and areas for improvements in using CVA as a modality during the previous and current dzud early action and response and contribute to cash preparedness actions.
  • Preference for those with experience in CVA programming.
  • With a commitment to apply the training insights in their organization’s work and willingness to participate in follow-up activities.

Organization: Instituto de Estudios sobre Conflictos y Acción Humanitaria

End date: 16 May 2024
Registration deadline: 5 May 2024

El próximo 16 de mayo a las 16.00H (UTC+2) | 9.00H (UTC-5) celebramos el seminario virtual «Programas de transferencias monetarias y protección: Perspectivas y experiencias».

El uso de programas de transferencias monetarias (PTM) humanitarios ya representa el 20% del total de la asistencia humanitaria global. En los últimos años, los actores que están usando PTM para fines de protección han producido una plétora de evidencia, guías y herramientas sobe los PTM y protección. Sin embargo, el uso de PTM para fines de protección es el sector que menos reporta usarlos. Hay una brecha notable entre la aplicación de los recursos disponibles y la practica en respuesta humanitaria.

Con el propósito de incrementar el conocimiento de buenas prácticas, crear espacios de intercambio y mejorar la calidad de los PTM para protección, la Agencia Española de Cooperación Internacional para el Desarrollo (AECID), el Instituto de Estudios sobre Conflictos y Acción Humanitaria (IECAH), el Task Team de Cash para Protección del Clúster Global de Protección y la CALP Network convoca este taller sobre PTM y Protección.

El taller tiene un carácter práctico y alternará las presentaciones teóricas con la exposición de casos prácticos en grupos reducidos en los cuales se conocerán experiencias de diversas instituciones (ONG y organismos internacionales). El taller se facilitará en línea a través de la plataforma Microsoft Teams.

Adicionalmente se compartirán una serie de lecturas recomendadas para orientar sobre la temática del taller a las personas seleccionadas.
