About the course

The Crisis Leadership Program is a new learning opportunity designed to strengthen the leadership skills of those working in conflict, disaster and crisis settings.


CLP Seed is designed for participants with between 0 to 2 years of experience (approximately) working in conflict, disaster, and crisis settings.  CLP Seed focuses on better understanding the humanitarian system and strengthening the leadership capability of those new to working in conflict, disaster, and crisis settings. Participants will deepen their understanding of international humanitarian coordination structures to better navigate the crisis response system. It will also build new skills and provide tools and techniques to support the delivery of quality assistance to communities affected by crisis.


This course has been developed by the Centre for Humanitarian Leadership (CHL), drawing from the technical inputs of those working in crisis and emergency response around the world. 


The CLP is supported by the Center for Disaster Philanthropy.
