Executive Short Course -

 

Geneva Centre of Humanitarian Studies

 

 Training dates - 25 Nov 2024 to 29 Nov 2024

 Registration deadline - 6 Oct 2024

 

The overall objective of this executive short course is to provide humanitarian mid-level and senior managers with the knowledge, competencies, and skills required to conceive and operationalise a multidisciplinary approach in sexual violence prevention and response. This is both adapted to conflict and emergency settings and as an integral part of humanitarian operations.

 

The course offers to deepen participants’ understanding of sexual violence, its root causes and contributing factors, and its impact on individuals and communities with a particular focus on the East Africa region. The content adopts a survivor-centred and comprehensive approach to the core principles, challenges, and practices by exploring multi-sectoral responses, including health, mental health and psycho-social support, and justice.

 

Participants will be able to conceive safe and ethical interventions centred on victims/survivors’ rights, needs, and wishes, and will be competent to prevent and mitigate risks of sexual violence.

This residential course session in Entebbe focuses on East Africa and targets participants based or working in the region.
