Global training content
This online training course will help field-based staff implement Quality & Accountability commitments in a crisis response.
Based on the revised Core Humanitarian Standard, the “MEAL in practice” training course addresses the following three questions:
- What do we need to know to strengthen the Quality & Accountability of a project?
- What do we need to do to strengthen the Quality & Accountability of a project?
- How can we manage the information needed to adapt to changing needs, contexts and resources?
The “MEAL in practice” training course is:
- Context-based. Participants will work on a case study throughout the course, whilst also building on their own real-life experience and scenarios.
- Designed to improve coordination between different expertise. In particular, this training course aims to build coherence and synergies between Quality and Information Management (IM).
Who is this course for?
The training course is designed for field staff (national and international staff), who already have a certain knowledge of the topic:
- Technical profiles, such as M&E and MEAL staff based in the field (MEAL coordinators, etc.), or IM specialists when such a position exists in a given organisation.
- Generalist profiles, such as Programme Coordinators in the field, etc. Although they are not specialists of the subject matter, they do have a good understanding of it due to their responsibilities and experience.
- The training is also open to consultants or future consultants interested in learning more about this topic.
