United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) Dec 2013
InterWorks facilitated the 19th workshop event of the ongoing Security Management Learning Programme (SMLP) in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia from 2-6 December 2013. The SMLP is a Global Learning Centre (GLC) and Division of Emergency, Security and Supply (DESS) joint initiative to support managers in the field by increasing capacities and awareness in handling the difficult challenge of balancing operational imperatives and the safety of staff. It is a blended learning programme, consisting of a self-study module with an online test, followed by a workshop.
The 5-day workshop was intensive, interactive and work-oriented, and employed a variety of methodologies, including two mini critical incident management simulation exercises, presentations and case studies as well as group and plenary discussions. It also included an extensive practical application of security risk management methods. Of the twenty-two participants, seven were UNHCR Field Safety Staff and the rest were UNHCR managers.
I am impressed how this training is well organized. FULLY supported. Knowledgeable presenters and highly experienced participants. Love discussions.
