Certificate in Introduction to Humanitarian Aid
Africa Training Institute is pleased to announce a Certificate in Introduction to Humanitarian Aid. This is both an online and Distance Learning Course, which starts 1st of every month.
Overall Course Overview
The work of agencies, NGOs and overseas workers takes place in emergency, reconstruction and development contexts. At times humanitarian aid is often taken for granted but it normally envisions different types of visions, priorities and activities. The visions, needs and priorities depend on the needs of the population, problems caused by the crisis as well as how the aid is conceived. Humanitarian aid is made up of a series of tasks such as provision of basic care to affected population, providing support as well as improving the living conditions. At times the tasks might be very clear but confusion sometimes arises when individuals or institutions involved have different interests as well as priorities.
