This new publication from CERAH presents
a global overview of university training and education programmes in humanitarian
action. It is the result of collaboration with academia worldwide to identify
programmes and bring the information to humanitarian practitioners and
humanitarian organisations, and to universities interested in initiating
humanitarian education and training. It identifies and systematically presents
77 programmes offered to practising or entry-level humanitarian workers
at undergraduate, postgraduate and professional levels of study.
Training and education of humanitarian
workers is already being discussed within and between the academic and
humanitarian sectors and this interchange will take on more importance
in the years to come. We hope that this publication will inform the
dialogue, and contribute to training and education programmes and strategies
built on the comparative advantage and value-added of each provider - for
the ultimate benefit of those who practice the profession and the populations
they serve.
