Virtual humanitarian response simulation

United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) | Oct 2022

For UNHCR’s online Workshop on Emergency Management, InterWorks designed a virtual simulation exercise to enhance participants’ capacity in interagency coordination, shelter response, negotiating with government authorities and security awareness. The online exercise ran over four days, starting on Friday 21 October 2022, and continuing the following Monday-Wednesday, from 24-26 October 2022.

Overall coordination, planning and administration of the workshops were managed by the UNHCR Global Learning & Development Centre (GLDC) which administers the WEM on behalf of the Division of Emergency, Security and Supply (DESS). Overall event design, facilitation, and preparation of workshop materials was done by InterWorks, LLC. in concert with the UNHCR GLDC and UNHCR content experts as designated by the GLDC.

Thanks to all the facilitators, specially in the feedback sessions and thorough review and comments of the emergency response strategy. Its very motivating to see that the work required to build them is taken into account and receives feedback.
