Humanitarian Education and Training conference report

Recent decades have seen significant international change and a growth in the demand for humanitarian action. This has prompted the sector to grow and transform the way it responds to humanitarian need. Responding efficiently and effectively to today's crises requires a significant human resource.

These were among the questions discussed at the Humanitarian Education and Training Conference held in Geneva from 26th - 28th October 2011 hosted by CERAH and ELRHA. Around 170 humanitarian practitioners, academics and training providers from around the world (incuding People In Aid) met to discuss the current state of professional development within the sector and explore how this could be developed to better meet humanitarian needs.
