The two-parts online seminar series on “Coordination Platforms and Information Services in Humanitarian Action” aims at providing participants joining the humanitarian sector with a critical understanding of the different coordination platforms and information management systems in the sector. More specifically enhancing their understanding on the topic and applying their learning while engaging them in a critical reflexion on the opportunities, limitations, and significance of using these information services and coordination platforms.

The two webinars will be interactive, practical and provide a sound knowledge of where to find the information and understand how to use the information. Between the two webinars, an (optional) exercise provides the opportunity to deepen the acquired knowledge.

In the 5-day course "WASH in Emergencies - Water, Sanitation and Hygiene in Humanitarian and Transitional Action" you will receive a comprehensive overview of the field of action WASH in humanitarian and transitional action, technical and non-technical intervention options as well as specifics and challenges in the WASH sector. The course will cover the basics of humanitarian assistance in the WASH sector, including related humanitarian principles and WASH standards.

Experienced speakers from the German WASH network and external experts will give technical input and bring current practical examples into the course.

Integrating local response and spontaneous self-help in crisis situations after a disaster or conflict, where rapid onset, chronic, or protracted, is not an easy task. This training developed and conducted by the Local2Global Protection Initiative (L2GP) will help you understand and support survivor and community-led crisis responses (sclr) in a manner that fits local realities and adds to resources already present with affected citizens and communities. This hands-on training introduces you to the core elements in this way of working. The focus is on practical experience with the tools you need to support genuinely community-led responses that serve both immediate needs but also attempts to reduce future vulnerability and increase resilience of crisis-affected communities.

The training is part of aha's certification scheme and can be credited towards a Certificate of Advanced Studies in "Locally-led Humanitarian Action".
