The IRC’s Emergency Response & Preparedness training package is aimed at better equipping emergency responders to prepare for, launch and support rapid, effective response to VAW in crisis situations. The training, through the VAW in Emergencies TAG, will also give participants the opportunity to raise and discuss challenges or questions they face related to emergency response in their own contexts.
By the end of the training, participants will have the knowledge and skills to:
·         Develop context-specific emergency preparedness plans;
·         Adapt and use appropriate information collection tools to carry out rapid assessments in emergency settings;
·         Generate and prioritize recommendations for action, in line with international best practices; and
·         Initiate and advocate for interventions to respond to VAW in emergencies and reduce risks to women and girls.

Please note: the content will be similar to that of the training held in October 2012. Previous participants will not be invited to participate again. However, a different staff member from your organization is welcome to apply to this opportunity. 

Dates: January 14-17, 2014
