Our Products & Services

As the frequency and complexity of humanitarian crises continue to rise, there is increasing demand for a highly skilled workforce capable of preparing for and responding more effectively and efficiently to disasters. For organisations involved in humanitarian preparedness and response, or located in crisis-affected countries, investing in the learning and development of staff and volunteers has become an urgent necessity.

The Humanitarian Leadership Academy has developed a wide range of platforms, products and services to help such organisations.

CTG Logo

“We chose this platform [Kaya] for several reasons: the courses are created by humanitarian organisations who know the realities faced in the field, resources are easy to access and available in different languages – vital when considering the diverse backgrounds of our staff – and consultants can use CTG Learning without an internet connection once they’ve downloaded the courses onto the Kaya Mobile app. Whether it’s COVID-19 or Safeguarding, our teams now have these resources at their fingertips.”

Alice Laugher, CEO, Committed To Good

“The business continuity planning training opened my eyes to many things that I should prepare for to address disasters. Before BCP, I had a negative mentality and feared that my business will end after a disaster. But the training programme helped me find a solution.”

Mr. Ricard Sabdao, Mayan Farmers Association, Albay, BCP programme

“The biggest challenge faced by Micro Small and Medium Enterprises is how to pick themselves up after the hazard and how to establish resilience. What I learned from the training was that the biggest challenge really is knowing how to prepare and how to be resilient once the hazards become disasters.”

Mr. Joseph Porfirio L Andaya, Trainer of Trainers for the BCP programme

“I’ve never considered the plight of refugees – my volunteering has been focused in other areas. The course motivated me to reach out to a charity dealing with refugees about how I can help.”

Corporate Volunteer, HSBC (Volunteer Essentials Training)

“It was important for HSBC that staff were familiar with core humanitarian principles and standards; and to promote methods to ensure they are able to act safely and responsibly in future local-level crises. The Academy responded to our brief to provide relevant learning in an interactive and engaging format, and we have been very impressed with the training that our employees have received. The feedback has been positive and I’m confident that HSBC volunteers are now equipped with the skills to put into practice what they have been taught and contribute meaningfully to the communities in which they live.”

Sabrin Rahman, Head of Sustainability MENAT at HSBC Bank Middle East

“It demonstrated to me that there is an amateur and professional level to volunteering and what I have been doing is casual and reactive. I now know that I need to have a deep understanding of the task at hand before offering to  volunteer.”

“I have never volunteered in a refugee camp, but I have reached out to a charity last week to see if there is some way I can help refugees – thank you for starting me down this path!”
