As the private sector increases investments in agricultural areas, the impacts on smallholder farmers as a result of weak land governance structures can compromise household resilience and even community food security.
Despite these challenges, USAID acknowledges that agricultural investment in land and other resources are happening in many developing areas and will likely continue into the foreseeable future.
This Ag Sector Council seminar will introduce, USAID's “Operational Guidelines for Responsible Land-Based Investment,” a new tool to help practitioners and private sector partners navigate the complex issues surrounding local land rights. Additionally, our presenters will explore ways that practitioners can mitigate the negative effects of large-scale land acquisitions and ensure that smallholders and their communities remain food secure.

The National NGO Program on Humanitarian Leadership partnership - Concern Worldwide U.S., International Medical Corps and the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative - brings together a unique combination of operational, pedagogical, and technical expertise with a deep understanding of the international humanitarian architecture and the NGO community. Since launching in 2016, NNPHL has offered leadership training to mid-career humanitarian professionals working nearly all of today's most complex emergencies. Now in its fourth year, NNPHL is excited to offer an online course that explores humanitarian leadership, management and topical issues critical to advancing humanitarian principles and alleviating suffering.
We recognize that it is difficult to acess quality online learning that focuses on leadership for humanitarians, there NNPHL has developed the NNPHL Online Course, which is publicly available at no cost.
It is our belief that anyone given the right tools can learn to improve their leadership skills. Our unique, self-guided online program is tailored to fit the needs of humanitarians, and is designed to improve humanitarian leadership, managment and technical skills.
Please spread the word within your networks and join us in making a positive impact in humanitarian practice and policy!

The Essentials of Humanitarian Practice provides foundation knowledge for working within the modern humanitarian system and for responding to an international crisis that involves a global response. This course provides participants with an understanding of the complexity of the international relief system and the legal framework for humanitarian assistance. We introduce the characteristics of natural disasters and conflict-induced emergencies and the requirements for an effective humanitarian response, highlighting some of the dilemmas faced by humanitarians and aid workers. Participants will learn about the various United Nations agencies that respond to disasters and the roles these agencies play in coordinating responses for various sectors such as health, water and sanitation and logistics. They will discover how international non-government organisations work with these agencies to share information and data and to avoid duplication and ensure humanitarian aid reaches those who need it and doesn't cause harm. Attendees are given an opportunity to put the knowledge gained into practice and to explore the team skills required to work effectively in the field.
This course is suitable for people with a range of different backgrounds and levels of humanitarian experience. This includes future humanitarians wanting to understand more about working in international disasters and humanitarian emergencies, and to see if this sector is right for them. EHP is also designed for experienced technical specialists currently working in humanitarian or development contexts who want to deepen their understanding of humanitarian foundations, context, coordination mechanisms, and emerging issues and trends. This will include RedR roster applicants and experienced humanitarians who have typically focused on their specific technical areas (eg WASH, Health etc). The EHP course is relevant for professionals in related fields and organisations with links to the humanitarian work looking to better understand the context, issues and daily realities of those they work with. This may include staff from government departments and NGOs.
The EHP course has been run for over 20 years with participants from lots of different backgrounds and stages in their careers. This mix of individuals works well and one of the strengths of the course is networking with other participants and trainers while learning about their varied professional journeys.

Humanitarian workers are increasingly exposed to challenging, insecure, remote or hostile environments due to lawlessness, political instability and armed conflict, so there is a compelling need for them to be adequately prepared for any dangers they may encounter.
Sexual harassment, interactions with aggressive armed combatants, day light robbery and traffic accidents are realistic threats for humanitarians and aid workers. All field workers should be adequately prepared for these events and be proficient in establishing and maintaining telecommunications, whether working in a safe or hostile situation. Conscious of the varying needs within the sector, RedR Australia seeks to address the concerns of a range of organisations and individuals and their insurance providers. These include relief, development, research and advocacy organizations, operational agencies and agencies that are not directly operational but provide support to community based organisations and locally based NGOs.
RedR Australia's HEAT course includes integrated Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) training by Real Response. Real Response will deliver a combination of theory and practical based emergency medical training, giving participants the skills and knowledge to manage ballistic, penetrating and blast trauma. A few of the skills learned in TECC include commercial and improvised tourniquets and haemorrhage control, airway management of an unconscious casualty and an array of improvised techniques teaching students how to save and preserve life with limited resources. Participants will leave the course with the skills and knowledge to provide aid and operate in hostile environments around the world.
Participants will receive a TECC Level 1 Certificate issued through Real Response. The course content is recognised through Committee for Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (C-TECC).
