25 January 2016 - 29 January 2016

The credibility of the crisis response from international actors today depends more and more on their capacity to establish sustainable results in the field when addressing a crisis or post conflict situations. Security is a very important aspect thereof and it is the pre-condition to establish sustainable development (security-development nexus). This five day training course focuses on the capacity of crisis responses from major actors like the EU and the UN, more specifically in their role as global and also comprehensive security provider. A specific focus will be put on the Sahel region. An analysis will be made of the integration of the security aspects mirrored by crisis management missions as part of an overall comprehensive approach. During the course a bottom-up and a top-down approach will be discussed in terms of synergy development (transition strategies) between various instruments (security, humanitarian, development, economic and diplomatic) and joint cooperation of the international community enabling for sustainable results.
