Training of Facilitators Program: Session A

This Training of Facilitators Program introduces participants to a series of facilitation techniques to guide humanitarian professionals through the application of  the negotiation methodology developed by the Centre of Competence on Humanitarian Negotiation.

About the program

This two-step program prepares participants to facilitate specific CCHN modules that were designed to serve humanitarian professionals who prepare for and conduct humanitarian negotiations. Participants are further trained in different facilitation techniques and learn to apply case studies and simulation exercises. After completing the two steps, participants are invited to facilitate sessions in practice-oriented workshops organized by the Centre of Competence on Humanitarian Negotiation.

Structure

The program includes two training sessions on how to facilitate effective experiential learning events for humanitarian professionals involved in frontline negotiations. Each session lasts two days:

• Session A: CCHN methodology and tools
• Session B: Facilitation skills

All participants are required to complete sessions A and B in order to qualify for CCHN certification. Participants decide in what order they want to attend the two sessions.

Selection criteria & expectations

The Training of Facilitators Program (ToF) is designed for humanitarian professionals from the five Strategic Partners (WFP, MSF, UNHCR, ICRC, HD) with proven experience in facilitating trainings in the humanitarian sector and in conducting humanitarian negotiations.
