Humanitarian organizations are already well equipped with policies, guidelines and Codes of Conduct when it comes to the prevention of sexualized exploitation, abuse and harassment (PSEAH). Putting these policies and guidelines into practice presents a challenge for many NGOs.  In four online sessions, you will learn what steps are necessary from the finalization to lived practice of their guidelines. You will discuss how to implement those steps together with partner organizations. Prerequisite for participation is the completion of provided e-learning modules.

This course will take place online on 6, 8, 13 and 15 June 2023 from 1 to 5pm each day and includes regular breaks.

Providing overhead costs is an important step in enhancing a more locally-led humanitarian response. Recent studies show that local and national humanitarian organizations still do not receive an appropriate quantity of overheads from their international partners. In this seminar, we would like to give local/national NGOs a chance to formulate their expectations on the allocation of overheads as well as German NGOs to exchange about their practices of transferring overheads.

The seminar consists of two parts. The first session on 7 June is for local and national humanitarian NGOs and will take place online. The second session on 20 June is for German NGOs and will take place in Bochum. Participants should be familiar with localization in humanitarian action and the allocation of overheads to/by their organization.

The impact of crises on people's lives, experiences and material conditions varies according to gender. Humanitarian aid activities can reinforce or reduce existing inequalities. The aim of the training is to provide key approaches and practical tools that can lead to meeting the immediate needs of women, men, girls and boys affected by natural disasters and humanitarian conflict in a way that also addresses the underlying causes of people's vulnerability, particularly as a result and cause of gender inequality. The training is based on approaches and tools used by CARE International.
