 Hi, I'm Tinika Hermans and I'm Associate Professor of Sanitary Engineering at IHC Delft. In this presentation entitled, A Strengthened and Acceptable Training Offer for All, I'll share a capacity development activity under one of the roadmap initiatives. This roadmap initiative aims to develop models, mechanisms, and partnerships between humanitarian organizations and knowledge institutes to improve the delivery of humanitarian-washed learning opportunities worldwide and at a graduated as well as vocational level. It will increase the number of wash professionals with key skills for the sector through accredited or certified learning opportunities and create partnerships for operational research at local level to generate evidence and improve the overall quality of the humanitarian wash response. IHC Delft has a strong history of graduate level capacity development through master programs, courses, research, and projects. A couple of years ago, IHC UNICEF and the Global Wash Cluster started with the development of key humanitarian wash courses. The result is the launch of the Graduate Professional Diploma Program, GPDP, consisting of four online courses of five ECTS each. There are accredited modular courses that can also be taken standalone and you can see here the topics of the courses that were identified after consultation of the sector. Furthermore, several cross-cutting issues are addressed during the courses. The target group are professionals in the field of water, sanitation and hygiene who want to work in humanitarian settings or professionals from the sector who would like to update and expand their knowledge to solve wash related problems in a range of humanitarian contexts. The courses are being developed with the help from the humanitarian sector and supported by the Global Wash Cluster. The expert revealed the content and structure of the courses provided practical examples and actively participated in bringing in their experience from the field. All developed educational material will be made available for use and adaptation by partners. For the first run of the GPDP this year we have 28 students. As you can see, the students originate from different employers and from different countries. As a next step, we are working on scaling up and localization of the educational offerings with the pilot initiative. We want to offer the courses in different languages and different continents and have identified four academic organizations. By the end of 2020 we aim for the four academic partners in the Global South who have started with the adaptation and integration of the four humanitarian wash courses with the involvement of local humanitarian partners. This initiative is part of a long term vision to build an alliance between academic partners and humanitarian actors from different parts of the world to develop the capacities of the humanitarian sector in a changing world by embracing the localization shift of the humanitarian response and ensure continuous and robust learnings.
