NOHA Training on Armed Actor Engagement

The NOHA Training on Armed Actor Engagement is a one-day interactive training designed for humanitarian professionals involved in protection, access, and engagement with armed actors. This course focuses on enhancing skills to mitigate risks of violence, coercion, and deprivation in humanitarian settings by leveraging the expertise of actors who interact with armed groups. It emphasizes practical strategies to align protection efforts with the IASC 2016 Policy on Protection in Humanitarian Action, ensuring collaborative risk reduction. The training includes a mix of presentations and hands-on exercises, encouraging participants to share their experience and actively engage in discussions. The event is organized by the NOHA Network on Humanitarian Action, a consortium including NOHA, ODI Global, and Nonviolent Peaceforce, supported by the Belgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The facilitator, Katherine Kramer, has extensive experience in this field, having worked for Geneva Call for 17 years. The training is scheduled for 6 February 2027 in Nairobi, Kenya, with an application deadline of 8 January 2027.⁠‌​​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌⁠
