Introduction
This new publication from CERAH presents
a global overview of university training and education programmes in humanitarian
action. It is the result of collaboration with academia worldwide to identify
programmes and bring the information to humanitarian practitioners and
humanitarian organisations, and to universities interested in initiating
humanitarian education and training. It identifies and systematically presents
77 programmes offered to practising or entry-level humanitarian workers
at undergraduate, postgraduate and professional levels of study.
Training
Certificate of Advanced Studies (CAS) and Diploma of Advanced Studies (DAS) in International Organizations Management
The CAS (18 ECTS) and the DAS (30 ECTS) in International Organizations Management were created to respond to the needs of professionals and practitioners working in the Geneva area. As a part-time course, they allow participants to develop their technical, leadership and managerial skills in the context of international organizations, and extend their knowledge of the socio-economic and political context in which they work.
