The training of trainers is conducted in English, for 5 consecutive days, each 4 hours (2 to 6 pm CET). In order to cover the regional and local needs, we offer also other identical training with different time slots ToT NEAT+ (1)

The Nexus Environmental Assessment Tool (NEAT+) is a rapid and simple project-level environmental screening tool for humanitarian operations and has been specifically designed to quickly identify issues of environmental concern to make emergency and recovery interventions more sustainable. Application of NEAT+ enables better understanding oft he environmental risks and their mitigation measures in the development of humanitarian project proposals, which has been required more by institutional donors.

The training of trainers is intended to train selected staffs of humanitarian organisations to apply NEAT+ confidently and being able to organize and provide NEAT+ basic trainings in applying NEAT+ to staff and partners in their context. After the training, the new Trainers should be enabled to support local teams by incorporating results / outcomes of the NEAT+ screening into the project plan.

The training uses learning-by-doing approach for gaining a deep understanding of computational tools like NEAT+  with participants bringing information about their planned or ongoing projects where NEAT+ can be applied, e.g. in areas such as WASH, Shelter, Food Security, and Livelihood. The training will comprise technical sessions on NEAT+, i.e., Rural NEAT+ and Urban NEAT+, as well as training design and facilitation session. Support in creating their own training materials tailored to their organizations or target groups will be provided.

(Only for Members of ADH Organizations and their local offices / partner organisations. They can apply for fee reimbursement. Please check within your organizations regarding the internally announced procedure.)

Climate change has brought increasing numbers and changes in climate and weather extremes that may cause disasters. Anticipating climate change impacts and taking appropriate actions to manage the risk of extreme events has become necessary within humanitarian action. This module provides the foundations and a basic understanding of climate change adaptation. It discusses causes, scenarios and impacts of global climate change and associated extreme events, as well as relevant concepts, strategies, and measures available to deal with the impacts of climate change.

The course will take place on 29 October from 9 am to 1 pm and builds the foundation for further specific courses of climate change adaptation. It is possible to complete three additional specific CCA courses, like, for example, the course on "Climate Resilient Agriculture: climate change adaptation approaches and strategies", in order to gain an ECTS credit point for a Certificate of Advanced Studies in "Anticipatory Humanitarian Action", under prerequisite of passing the exam in form of individual work after completion of all - introductory and three specific - courses.
