Strengthening Local Disaster Managment Capacities

The aim of Multiplier Modules (MM) is to enhance the effectiveness of humanitarian assistance in Senegal, Mali, Burkina Faso and Nigeria. Multiplier activities are hosted by a local organisation, and the 4-to-5-day workshop is funded by the ACP. Civilian, police and mid-career military professionals who graduated from the HAWA Core Course and ToT are encouraged to participate in the training of national professional humanitarians and other stakeholders. The workshop is focusing on a specific issue in the context of humanitarian assistance. 

Multiplier activities are typically hosted by local organisations. This organisation becomes involved as an ACP’s implementing partner, preferably, it is an organisation where a HAWA graduate is employed or is collaborated with. Through this activity national and local staff of this organisation will actively participate in the training and, during the workshop will create a space for professional exchange and networking.  

The host organisation will conduct an exploratory mission to identify capacity building needs. Additionally, the following topics are also considered: disaster risk reduction, climate change management, cross border issues and conflict management (migration, the WPS agenda), gender and other cross-cutting issues. Both organisations will work together to find the right thematic. Hence, the specific topic or perspective of humanitarian assistance which to focus on during the training activity is subject to in-depth discussions with the partner organisation.
