INTRODUCTION Course

How to apply

This second edition of this unique five-day course on humanitarian protection offers an informed and practice‐oriented approach to the main challenges, current discussions and key issues around humanitarian protection. The course consists of a combination of lectures, case studies and in-depth discussions. Participants will be presented with concepts and tools to assess protection needs in order to develop programs in protection. The protection of affected populations in situations of crisis, such as armed conflicts or natural disasters, has become a main element of humanitarian action. Humanitarian agencies have developed policies, manuals and guidelines in protection. However, its operationalization remains a challenge due to, inter alia, the persistent ambiguity of the concept, its complexity, and, in many cases, the lack of external references and standards for implementation.
