The training aimed to build the foundational competencies required for effective humanitarian response, targeting staff who are new to the sector or transitioning into emergency operations. It addressed essential needs such as understanding humanitarian principles, coordination mechanisms, early response planning, proposal development, and decision-making under pressure. The desk-based simulation responded to the practical need for trainees to apply theory in realistic crisis scenarios, strengthening their ability to develop response strategies, logframes, and budgets within tight timelines.
