Theyalsoengagein:• Enumerationofpopulations;• Calculationofimportanthealthindicators;• Translation of qualitative data into numbers needed for treatment and

financing.

The SimEx is designed to simulate acomplex humanitarian emergency thatrequires a comprehensive understandingof war, natural disasters and forceddisplacement, and the impact of culturalcontexts on the affected populations.Participants are immersed in thesimulation for the whole weekend,working in multidisciplinary, NGO-basedteams, each tasked with a series ofactivitiesservingthefictionalpopulations.Teams must find dynamic solutions tocomplicated problems including securityincidents, mass displacement, childsoldiers, environmental shocks, limitedresources,supplyissues,assessmentsanddonorrelations.
