About the course

The Crisis Leadership Program is a new learning opportunity designed to strengthen the leadership skills of those providing frontline assistance in crisis contexts.


CLP Grow focuses on developing each participant’s leadership capacities so individuals can work more effectively in a crisis and also engage and enable others to thrive in crisis response work. The course explores a range of techniques and approaches to collaborate, coordinate and influence more effectively and gain a deeper understanding of elements that contribute to building a quality and inclusive crisis response. Educators will also work with you to identify areas for growth and development and to enhance leadership abilities in crisis response with a focus on strategic thinking and enabling resilience.  


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.


The CLP is supported by the Center for Disaster Philanthropy.
