Mr. Chris Wong, a Sphere trainer is conducting the training. Through this training programme, the trainees will be equipped with a strong knowledge foundation of the latest edition of The Sphere Handbook 2018 as well as have their practical skills excelled through the in-depth practice sessions on the four technical chapters of the Sphere Handbook: WASH, food security and nutrition, shelter and settlement, and health.

In addition, Ms. Laishan Chung, a gender expert, will join this training to highlight the importance of preventing sexual exploitation and abuse, and power abuse throughout the humanitarian response which is to ensure that all humanitarian beneficiary and actors are protected from possible harm.
