The National NGO Program on Humanitarian Leadership (NNPHL) is now accepting applications for the 2018 NNPHL.3 Leadership Training Course.
About NNPHL program
The NNPHL program (previously named the Program on Humanitarian Leadership), which receives support from USAID’s Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance, is managed by Concern Worldwide and its partners, International Medical Corps and Harvard Humanitarian Initiative, with technical support from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
NNPHL, now in its third year, is an innovative training and professional development initiative for humanitarian professionals, combining a rigorous curriculum of in-person leadership training, online learning and mentorship. By the end of this learning process, NNPHL participants will have the skills, knowledge, and confidence to take on leadership responsibilities within a variety of humanitarian organizations.
NNPHL training programs are free-of-charge and open to mid-level professionals from non-governmental or community-based organizations who have experience in one or more humanitarian emergency situations. NNPHL prioritizes staff from local or national NGOs and CBOs who aspire to take on decision-making and management responsibilities in the humanitarian sector.
The NNPHL.3 call for applications for 2018 is seeking applicants from Asia. Only a limited number of applicants from other regions will be accepted for NNPHL.3; therefore, we recommend that applicants apply to the NNPHL program that corresponds to their workplace region.
