b. Shelter Training contents

Two things being discussed…

• A shelter course – attached to Shelter Meetings.

• Programme of Shelter training and learning.



A shelter course – attached to Shelter Meetings

• “Send your field staff to a training course just before each Shelter Meeting” (Nov ’06).

• … but what is the problem you wish to solve?

• Who is to be trained and why? What is it that you want them to achieve?



For example…..

• New Project Managers (your rising stars)

• Proving a framework on which to consolidate their learning, reflect on their experience, benefit from wider exposure.

• Codes & Stds, Needs Assessment, Understanding Context, M&E, Settlement & Camp Management, Scenarios & Options, Cross Sectoral issues, International Relief System, etc. etc.



…. But a course is part of strategy to improve practice….

• The Human ResourceIn field Project Managers or Team

LeadersFrom other programme areas Senior Field ManagersH.Q. – Desk Officers, Decision Makers“Experts”



…. But a course is part of strategy to improve practice….

• Training ResourcesMaterials – session briefs, trainerguidelines, CDRoms, videos, other..

• Ways of supporting learningCourses, workshops, seminarsTechnical support/backupSelf study, on-line resourcesSharing learning and experience



To get the ball rolling let’s…

• Focus on the course – who should attend and what it should aim to achieve.

• Then move on to wider training and learning strategy to improve practice.
