A new training package was designed and was delivered for the first time during the Health Cluster Coordinator’s training that took place on 14-20 September 2015 in Divonne-les-Bains, France. The training consisted of theoretical and applied sessions and a simulation exercise. The training is articulated around the Humanitarian Program Cycle, and aims to strengthen the capacity and skills of participants to coordinate effective, efficient and timely humanitarian health response in countries affected by sudden-onset and protracted emergencies. This course is designed for Health Cluster Coordinators and Health Cluster partners who fulfill cluster coordination roles.
Upon completion of the training participants were able to:
- Understand and apply key elements of the Transformative Agenda;
- Understand and apply key elements of Humanitarian Reform in WHO and the implications for the Health Cluster leadership;
- Be aware of role of the Global Health Cluster Unit in facilitating access to information, guidance and tools;
