Facilitating an EiE Fundamentals training in Mozambique
Two current participants in the EiE Certificate of Advanced Studies (CAS) course along with two HLA colleagues in the East and Southern Africa (ESA) office facilitated a five-day EiE Fundamentals training in Nampula, Mozambique this July.
Allex Meque and Salinas Reginaldo are in Module 8 of the EiE CAS course, which includes the task of conducting a training and preparing a report. EiE CAS, the most advanced EiE course offered by HLA is a comprehensive 450-hour blended learning experience accredited by the University of Geneva.
The duo exercised the opportunity to strengthen their capacity and that of 20 fellow humanitarians from Save the Children International (SCI) Mozambique Country Office. Participants in the training were education professionals, SCI Mozambique’s implementing partners, members of the Education cluster and Ministry of Education staff from various field offices.
Led by Rose Wahome and Janeth Cherubeth – HLA EiE experts, the five-day training was designed to equip participants with the fundamental competencies needed to initiate, design, and implement an EiE response in their context.
“The training was excellent, now I will implement my activities looking at the objectives of the EiE, and the principles of Humanitarianism” – EiE Officer, SCI Gabo Delgado
The training was conducted in both English and Portuguese to highly engaged participants who shared their feedback at the end of five days:
“The training was excellent, now I will implement my activities looking at the objectives of the EiE, and the principles of Humanitarianism” – EiE Officer, SCI Gabo Delgado
“Thank you for the lessons learned as they will help me improve my emergency program implementation activities.” – Assistant Programme Coordinator TDH Italy- Nampula
“The training was very good, I’m so happy to understand a lot of themes that you give us. Thank you, a lot.” – Child Protection in Emergencies (CPiE) Coordinator SCI
Allex, EiE CAS participant and co-facilitator said: “The training was a great success. Most participants who attended are already working in the humanitarian sector. The discussions around child participation have provided tools and options that participants can use on Assessment, Design, Implementation, as well as Monitoring and Evaluation interventions. Another topic which has been mentioned by participants as to have been very useful is the Conflict Sensitive Education, were they became aware that EiE interventions should not cause any harm to children and communities.”
Rose, HLA EiE expert said: “It is always an amazing experience witnessing CAS students cascade their learning to an audience that needs it.”
