Content

This course provides a comprehensive understanding of the key management issues in the humanitarian sector. It focuses on analyzing the humanitarian system, its actors, and its tools. The course also aims to train students to reflect on the ethical issues and dilemmas faced by humanitarian actors. Finally, it includes a strong practical component, emphasizing students’ ability to design a humanitarian project and prepare a funding proposal.
Part of the course may be taught in English.

Teaching methods

The teaching combines lectures, presentations by external professionals from the sector, and a training workshop on the ECHO Single Form for the design and funding of humanitarian projects.

Evaluation methods

Course assessment consists of:

• A mid-year presentation (20%)
  
• Attendance at the Punto Sud training (10%)
  
• Attendance at the course sessions (10%)
  
• A final exam in the form of a group project: the design of a humanitarian project and preparation of a funding proposal, accompanied by an analysis of the related ethical issues. The submission of the written work is complemented by a final presentation before a panel of academics and professionals (60%).
  

In the resit session, the exam will take the form of an oral exam accounting for 60% of the final grade. The mid-year presentation and attendance marks are retained and will contribute 40% to the final grade. In accordance with Article 72 of the RGGE, any student who has not regularly participated in the learning activities, in particular the final group project, will not be permitted to register for the August session.
