SUMMARY:Online Diploma Course in Humanitarian Diplomacy
DESCRIPTION:It was great to work together with the course lecturers and the participants in the course\, as they all had unique contributions to make\, and I learned from all of them. The course material is rich\, and can benefit people with varied levels of professional experience and backgrounds. I am already putting what I learned at good use\, and hope I will have more opportunities to use it in the coming years. \nDana Truhlarova Cristescu\, Senior Cash and Markets Advisor\, UNICEF / CashCap (June 2020) \n\nHumanitarian diplomacy is persuading decision makers and opinion leaders to act at all times in the interests of vulnerable people\, and with full respect for fundamental humanitarian principles. \nThe rapid expansion of the number of humanitarian actors in recent years\, working for or with governments at all levels and often in complex situations\, makes humanitarian diplomacy increasingly important. \nHumanitarian diplomacy aims to mobilise public and governmental support and resources for humanitarian operations and programmes\, and to facilitate effective partnerships for responding to the needs of vulnerable people. Humanitarian diplomacy includes advocacy\, negotiation\, communication\, formal agreements\, and other measures. It is a field with many players\, including governments\, international organisations\, NGOs\, the private sector\, and individuals. \nThe online diploma course in humanitarian diplomacy is offered by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) in partnership with DiploFoundation. Course faculty draws on leading experts from around the world\, as resource people and guest lecturers. \nThis course is currently offered in English\, however participants who are more comfortable with French or Spanish will have the option to write and submit some course assignments and the final research paper in either of those languages. \nThe application deadline is 18 January 2020. \nFor more information on studying online and to appy\, please visit Diplo’s courses website or contact admissions@diplomacy.edu. \nRegister

SUMMARY:Capacity Development online course
DESCRIPTION:This online course is a good combination of different methods including reading the simple but good-quality materials with further references\, the chat room session to reflect and share practical examples\, and explanation of topics by experienced facilitators and moderators. I really learned a lot from the course starting from assessment of the capacity needs until measuring the results of the CD interventions. The course helped me to consolidate my existing knowledge on CD. I will include some of the things I learned from the course into my work where possible such as designing of CD interventions (setting goals\, objectives and indictors)\, choosing a good fit of interventions and measuring the results of CD. \nPhai Lim\, Program Development Specialist\, VBNK\, Cambodia (April 2018) \n\nCapacity development has been emerging as a central approach within development for more than two decades. This approach has gradually shifted the focus of development practice from simple financial aid and technical cooperation towards a complex new paradigm that encourages and demands active involvement and ownership from the people and communities involved in aid programmes. The approach takes into account the broader political\, social\, and economic environment in which change takes place. Capacity development co-exists and is supported by older forms of development practice\, and is a continuously shifting paradigm as experience informs policy\, practice and theory. \nTo help you better understand and master this complex paradigm\, this course introduces the key concepts\, principles and values of capacity development. The main focus is on building practical skills for better design\, planning\, implementation and assessment of capacity development initiatives. \nCourse materials are based on the Learning Network on Capacity Development (LenCD) Learning Package on Capacity Development\, and were developed with the support of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC)\, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)\, LenCD\, and Learn4Dev. \nVisit the course webpage to read more and apply by 18 January 2021. \nRegister
