On 20, 22, and 27 April, the IFHV hosted the online-training "Basics of the Humanitarian System", the second and final event of a starter package for newcomers to humanitarian action. The workshop was part of a joint project of the IFHV and VENRO to strengthen the capacities of German humanitarian NGO staff and was promoted under the umbrella of the academy for humanitarian action (aha). Recent graduates, new staff of humanitarian NGOs as well as career path changers attended the three-days training led by the experienced humanitarian practitioner Peter Zihlmann from the Swiss NGO ebaix. Due to the positive feedback of the participants and the high number of registration requests, both workshops of the starter package will be repeated in late 2021 and early 2022. Further information will be communicated in due time via the aha website and newsletter.
