The need

Local organizations frequently ask for assistance in building and effectively managing programmes that serve uprooted people, and in understanding important terms and concepts in the field of migration, which are often insufficiently explained to those most affected by their definitions.

Introduction

During its more than 50 years of work, ICMC has served hundreds of thousands of refugees, migrants and displaced people. Building on this expertise, ICMC's Training Programme offers services to individuals and organizations around the world who seek to understand and respond to the challenges of migration and displacement.

Durable solutions, conflict prevention and mitigation, emergency preparedness, protection of Human Rights, counter-trafficking, conflict management and peace-building are among the topics included in curricula provided both to international NGOs as well as local organizations on a grassroots level. ICMC also provides capacity building to NGOs in financial reporting and administration, donor relations and human resources, all of which are critical to the successful implementation of their programmes.

Since its inception, the ICMC Training Programme has trained over 80 organizations in more than 20 different countries. The training philosophy of the programme is based on partnership, quality and measurable results. ICMC staff provide pre-training assessments, customized content, staff development, organizational capacity building, programme development and support with project implementation.
