CERAH Core Contributions 2017-2020
CERAH’s mission aims at enhancing the capacity of individual and institutional humanitarian actors to devise and bring relevant, adapted and timely responses to the plight of populations affected by armed conflict, disasters or social exclusion. To that end, it aims at strengthening the competencies of humanitarian professionals through internationally recognized education and training, at improving humanitarian responses through critical research of humanitarian concepts, policies and practices and to stimulate debate on selected humanitarian issues to further critical and innovative thinking. This project aims at furthering systematization and professionalization of humanitarian activities and actors, with the stated goal to make the humanitarian sector more coherent and accountable.

| Risultati |
Risultati principali attesi: Internationally recognized high quality training and research focused on humanitarian organisations’ current and future challenges. Risultati fasi precedenti: Switzerland has supported the CERAH since its inception in 2008, and has beforehand supported its predecessors, the Programme interdisciplinaire en Action Humanitaire (PIAH) and the PPAH (Programme Plurifacultaire Action Humanitaire). In that time, the center has become a well-established educational provider in the humanitarian sector, offering eight post-graudate degrees, distance learning course, Summer School, thematic short courses and several seminars. It is well placed within a strong net of strategic partnerships and has become an important organizer of public conferences and seminars on humanitarian issues. |
