United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) Aug-Sep 2010
InterWorks facilitated the 15th and 16th workshop events of the ongoing Security Management Learning Programme (SMLP) in Nairobi, Kenya from 22-27 August and 29 August-3 September 2010. The workshops were intensive, interactive and work-oriented and employed a variety of methodologies, including presentations and case studies as well as group and plenary discussions. They also included an extensive practical application of security risk management methods.
Topics covered included:
- Current humanitarian security context: challenges and changes ahead
- UNHCR security policy and standards
- Roles and responsibilities of managers in security management
- Definitions and limitations of accountability
- Security Risk Management concepts and tools: threat, vulnerability and programme assessment
- Security Plans and planning: skills and resources
- Balancing and integrating staff and refugee security
- Coordination and the UN security management system
- Minimum Operating Security Standards
- Critical Incident Management
- Security and welfare
This is one of the best courses offered by UNHCR. I feel that I am now able to actively participate in the elaboration of these docs w/substantial input.
