Midlands State University Introduces New Hands-On Short Courses That Only Requires 5 Ordinary Level Passes
Taken As It Is From MSU website
SHORT COURSE IN HUMANITARIAN EMERGENCIES (HE) AND DISASTER MANAGEMENT OPERATIONS (DMO)
The rationale for the Course: The course is necessitated by the increased frequency, duration, and intensity of both natural and man-made disasters such as climate-induced floods and cyclones, terrorist activities, civil war, armed conflicts as well as sporadic outbursts of violence. This has created a pressing need for a competently trained workforce of humanitarian professionals who are ready to efficiently and effectively respond. The course, therefore, aims at enhancing the knowledge of students on the foundations and principles of humanitarian assistance. It will also enhance the leadership and management skills of professionals working with populations in need of humanitarian assistance, particularly international refugees and displaced populations.
