This initiative aims to increase the participants’ awareness and adeptness in handling crises prevalent in humanitarian or business operations, as well as in daily life. The training adheres closely to international regulations and takes into consideration best practices. Focus points are decision-making in crisis, situational awareness, risk mapping, and developing risk mitigation strategies tailored for leaders facing various crisis scenarios.
Objectives:

To improve participants’ understanding of global leadership requirements.
To increase the understanding of the responsibility of leaders towards a proactive security attitude and the importance of situational awareness, as well as related risk assessments.
To provide participants with helpful tools and techniques needed to avoid or cope adequately with potentially dangerous situations

Project Management & Learning Week (Special 4 days training)
2026-11-17 08:00 - 2026-11-20 17:00
Module 1: From Needs to Solutions – Project Management and Risk Awareness
Many (national) organizations that rely on donors for financial support to maintain, expand, and create programs must be able to write strong proposals, design needs-based projects, draft Log Frames and budgets and have a basic idea of Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning (MEAL). On top of that, a basic project risk assessment is crucial for any kind of project implementation as it helps in writing substantial assumptions in the Log Frame, thus improving the quality of proposals and, subsequently, the project implementation. This HDFF designed workshop seeks to build a strong understanding of the intertwined skills needed for safe project management using realistic scenario-based situations.
Objectives:

Project/proposal design with the help of problem / objective tree
Log Frame as a major design, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation tool
Budgeting and planning of monitoring and evaluation of a project
Basic project risk management as an integral part of project management

Monitoring should be considered as an attitude that underpins everything we do. In Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability, and Learning, one can get lost in forests of sophisticated Excel tables and endless data collection tools, and nearly drown in oceans of monitoring books treating it as a separate and sophisticated science. The more one gets into the topic, the more complex it appears and the more overwhelmed and confused one becomes. Therefore, HDFF, with its experience in M.E.A.L. as impact evaluators, designed an easy-to-understand 4 days MEAL course focusing on core tools and experience.
Module 2: Empowered Leadership – Strategy in Action
Objectives:

To increase understanding of the essence of MEAL.
To apply practical MEAL tools (Log Frame & indicators).
To help participants understand the learning process going along with M.E.A.L
