Humanitarian aid courses
Since its creation, the PuntoSud Academy is specialised in supporting humanitarian aid workers worldwide.
Thanks to its cooperation with the DG ECHO, with three Framework Contracts signed to develop and deliver training programmes and helpdesk services to all DG ECHO Partners and staff, the Academy gained real insight of the humanitarian aid context.
We have developed a significant number of training modules, which have been delivered all over the world to thousands of humanitarian aid workers from NGOs, International Organisations, Commission’s staff and Member States Specialised Agencies.
Besides the support to the DG ECHO, we have also been involved in the past years in the EU Aid Volunteers and now in the EU Solidarity Corps program training voluteers taking part to these initiatives.
Given these experiences and our expertise in conceiving and delivering a wide range of training services, we are able to organise face-to-face/virtual classroom training/webinars and develop eLearning, wikis and websites, based on your specific needs.
The main topics of our training are related to the EU Humanitarian Aid principles and its working modalities, the DG ECHO Partnership 2021 rules and procedures, the use of the Single Form, the main rules for the management (including financial management) of the DG ECHO-funded projects.
