El Gobierno colombiano, a través de la Oficina del Alto Comisionado de Paz (OACP), puso en marcha el curso virtual Entérese sobre el Proceso de Paz, el cual tiene como objetivo acercar la información de lo que sucede en las conversaciones de paz que actualmente se desarrollan con la guerrilla de las Farc en La Habana. El curso está dirigido a la ciudadanía en general, tanto colombianos como extranjeros.

Las inscripciones están abiertas de manera permanente y pueden realizarse a través de este enlace (curso virtual – inscripciones). El curso está dividido en ocho módulos, guiados mediante videoconferencias, presentaciones de diapositivas, documentos escritos y foros virtuales, a través de los cuales se busca transmitir la información de una manera didáctica. Inicialmente solo es posible realizarlo en español.

Entérese sobre el Proceso de Paz es una iniciativa de la Red de Territorios por la Paz, que es una división de la OACP cuyo propósito es generar pedagogía de paz en el país, y cuenta con el apoyo de la Agencia de Estados Unidos para el Desarrollo Internacional (USAID) y de la Organización Internacional para las Migraciones (OIM), en el marco de una estrategia integral a través de la cual se busca que la ciudadanía se informe sobre las conversaciones de paz y conozca los mecanismos mediante los cuales puede enviar sus propuestas al equipo negociador.

“Para nosotros es muy importante que los ciudadanos se enteren de qué es el proceso de paz, pues de llegar a un acuerdo exitoso este será el evento más importante de nuestras vidas. Lo que ha querido hacer este curso es poner a disposición del país, de una manera sencilla, los elementos básicos del proceso: el contexto, cuál es la estructura de las conversaciones y cómo se desarrollan, y sobretodo cuáles son los puntos que hasta ahora hemos acordado”, afirmó Sergio Jaramillo, Alto Comisionado de Paz y actual negociador plenipotenciario en La Habana.

De momento, el curso tiene cerca de 4.400 inscritos de todos los departamentos del país e inclusive cuenta con la participación de colombianos en el exterior y extranjeros interesados en el proceso de paz. Igualmente están representados diferentes sectores de la sociedad como la institucionalidad nacional y territorial, las universidades, las organizaciones sociales, miembros de las Fuerzas Militares, miembros de grupos étnicos y la comunidad en general.

Por su parte, Alejandro Guidi, Jefe de Misión de la OIM Colombia, afirmó que “creemos que la participación y el fortalecimiento de la ciudadanía es fundamental en la transición de Colombia hacia paz y precisamente por eso estamos apoyando la creación de herramientas pedagógicas que le permitan al país tener un conocimiento más profundo de lo que se ha acordado hasta la fecha en La Habana”.

“Lo que buscamos es que la ciudadanía cuente con todos los elementos para que forme su propia opinión sobre el proceso y pueda enviarnos sus recomendaciones, sugerencias y críticas al equipo negociador del Gobierno, siempre sobre la base de información verídica”, concluyó Jaramillo.

The objective of this workshop is to build remote sensing capacity for the participants. The first week will focus on image processing theory and fundamental concepts while working through exercises to create a land cover map with an accuracy assessment. The second week will focus on detecting and monitoring landscape change. This training will help countries with their ongoing work, such as preparing the forestry data for the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD) reporting.

This event is supported by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID); the Thailand Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation; the SilvaCarbon technical cooperation program of the U.S. Geologic Survey; the U.S. Forest Service; the European Commission; and SERVIR-Mekong/Asian Disaster Preparedness Center. - See more at: http://servir.adpc.net/news-events/remote-sensing-and-change-detection-workshop#sthash.7OIYOvEx.dpuf

Overview

This six-day intensive and highly practical course provides an overview of logistics in humanitarian emergency operations. The course equips and refreshes individuals with the background and knowledge to apply logistics skills through a combination of on-site visits, exercises and scenarios.

Aims & objectives

RedR Australia’s Humanitarian Logistics in Emergencies course focuses on the importance of logistics in the provision of aid to disaster survivors as well as its place in carrying out other disaster management operations. The course examines the design of logistics systems and the coordination required by the various agencies and actors involved in carrying out logistics operations.

The training is supported by experts in humanitarian (UN/NGO/INGO) and commercial (DHL Australia) logistics. Large-scale commercial logistics operations are incorporated into field exercises, allowing participants to apply skills and knowledge gained on the course to on-site emergency response simulations.

By the end of the course participants should be able to:

· examine the humanitarian logistics system and the activities involved in a logistics operation

· understand logistics processes

· assess the sharing of information, tools and resources of an effective networking / collaboration between agencies

Who should attend?

This course is an introduction to humanitarian logistics and is therefore suited to a wide audience. Experienced logisticians will benefit from the broader application of logistics to conflict and refugee situations, building a knowledge bridge for deployment to humanitarian operations.

Training testimonial

“The Personal Safety, Security and Communications training was very constructive and I feel much more prepared to work in conflict situations. I am better equipped to look after my own safety, and the safety of those working around me as well. The rest of the team looked to me for leadership on health and security issues, which left them able to focus on treating the wounded.
