The training is intended to provide an overview of good practice in humanitarian analysis, while focusing on building the practical skills of participants in key areas. The pedagogical approach will follow a mixture of presentations and group work that are built around a case study.

Instead, the training will focus on key areas, ensuring participants have the opportunity to practice, on a smaller scale, the skills that are most relevant.
HRN members have first priority for registration until November 23rd.
Remaining spaces will be made available to the public (at full price) as of November 24th.
