Course Date: July 11-30, 2004
Description: The 2004 Managing Complexity certificate program combines a
three-week summer session with a six-month mentored distance learning
program. The summer training session will take place on the Georgetown
University campus from Sunday July 11 to Friday July 30. Sessions will be
led by experienced practitioners, policy makers and academics. The
curriculum combines substance with skill development and promotes
interactive learning. Among the topics covered are: challenges of
humanitarian relief, management effectiveness, resource mobilization,
negotiation skills, conflict and post-conflict work environments, and
monitoring and evaluation. The follow-up mentored program will provide
participants an opportunity to apply the content gained during the summer
course to ongoing activities in their organizations.
Intended Audience: Senior managers and professionals who recently have
assumed a broad range of responsibilities related to humanitarian
assistance and disaster response. This includes individuals who work for
NGOs, governments and international organizations and who seek to enhance
their core of knowledge and skills to better prepare themselves for
decision-making roles. Generally, program participants are nominated and
supported by their home institution.
