Introduction

The Humanitarian Leadership Development Programme is a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in international humanitarian programmes.

As a trainee, you will undertake two 6 month placements with one of the 15 members of the CBHA. The first placement is a training placement where you will be based at an agency's HQ where you will get on the job training in various aspects of emergency operations programmes as well as completing two separate field based trainings. The second is a deployment placement where you will be based in one of the agencies’ field programmes in either an emergency or post emergency context, often in challenging and insecure environments. You will train with humanitarian professionals who will act as your coaches to facilitate the development of the skills required for programme management work in emergencies.
