UN-CMCoord Course

This course is designed to enhance appropriate and effective humanitarian civil-military interactions in emergencies by strengthening knowledge and understanding of UN-CMCoord standards and principles, and promoting adherence to them. This includes the use of military and civil defence assets (MCDA) to better support the humanitarian community in delivering urgently needed goods and services to affected communities and people-in-need.

At the end of this training event, humanitarian, civilian and military emergency responders will perform their task(s) more confidently by:

a. Assuming responsibilities in support of UN-CMCoord preparedness and response.

b. Taking an active part in timely decision-making and action in pursuit of effective UN-CMCoord.

c. Engaging in a dialogue with other civil-military coordination actors to support the activities of the humanitarian community in upholding humanitarian principles and facilitating the provision of the right assistance, to the right people, at the right time, in the most appropriate way.
