United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) Sep 2009
InterWorks conducted a Situational Emergency Training (SET) workshop in September 2009 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
The overall objective of the workshop was to provide staff from UNHCR and its partners with comprehensive training in emergency management in order to improve their preparedness to respond to emergency situations. The training focused on the local emergency refugee situation and placed a high priority on team planning for a specific emergency operation.
The workshop also introduced participants to key emergency planning and management skills in priority areas such as contingency planning, coordination, protection, security and operations.
