About the Course
Relief International, in partnership with Leadership for Humanitarians, provides this training through the Start Network’s global Talent Development Project. The overall goal of Talent Development is to support decentralised leadership and provide capacity building to current local leaders.
The Leadership for Humanitarians Signature Programme is intended for humanitarians who want to become change masters within their organisation. This 3-month programme combines self-leadership with group leadership and provides you with the framework to be a leader of leaders. At the end of the programme, you will have everything you need to be able to sustain high performance, in both yourself and your team. You will leave with a deeper understanding of yourself, an appreciation of the role that others play in achieving your goals, and the ability to effectively match your needs with theirs. Discover how to inspire trust. Learn how to communicate a clear and compelling purpose. Understand how to align systems. And gain the secret to unleashing talent in your team.
Learning Methods
The Leadership for Humanitarians Signature Programme is aiming to transform the way you work.
Learning methods include:
-Two 360 degree assessments
-A face-to-face 5-day workshop in Dhaka, Bangladesh
-Practical course work
-Self- directed learning
Participants are expected to be actively supported by their organisation and line manager throughout the programme and will take ownership of their learning process.
Who should attend?
Participants should be existing national staff in senior management or leadership positions and ideally involved in humanitarian work. This programme specifically targets national staff, and strongly encourages applications from local NGOs and national community-based civil society organisations, as well as national staff from INGOs. In order to obtain an equitable gender balance, it also strongly encourages applications from women.
Contribution towards training costs
The programme is fully-funded by the UK’s Department for International Development, and is therefore offered at no charge. A participant’s organisation is expected to cover any travel costs related to the face-to-face workshop in Dhaka, Bangladesh, which includes transportation, accommodation etc.
There are funds available for participants to receive scholarship stipends for these expenses. These funds are intended for small and medium-sized local NGOs where lack of funding may present a challenge to participation. Eligible participants will be refunded additional costs during the workshop. To apply for this funding, please indicate this during the application process.
