Scope of the Work

• The humanitarian workshop in Nairobi will focus on enhancing the core humanitarian skills of participants, with a specific emphasis on a 2.5-day training on Sphere minimum standards. The training will be based on the 2018 edition of the humanitarian handbook and its global training framework. However, due to time constraints, the training will prioritize the foundation chapters and the two lifesaving sectors: Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) and Food Security and Nutrition.

Participants have a lot of knowledge and experience, and the quality of your training will depend on your ability to invite them to share it. Given the participants experience on humanitarian action and familiarity with Sphere the training trainer is expected to play three roles: facilitator, instructor, and learner.

• As a Learner, encourage dialogue and exchange of experiences, uses the prior experience of learners, learns from the experience in the room.
• As a Facilitator, steer learners through questions and discussion, sets up activities, manages the group process, gives constructive feedback.
• As Instructor, provide instruction and directions, present facts and theories, demonstrates skills, and assesses knowledge.

Proposed Methodology

• The training should utilize adult learning methodology and be tailored to the specific needs of the participants based on a training needs assessment report. The facilitation style should be adapted to the audience, making the workshops participatory and active with hands-on examples. The training plan should incorporate a variety of methodologies, including case studies, videos, slide presentations, and hands-on exercises. The plan should also consider the variety of participants and their learning styles.
