Sphere Training of Trainers, Trocaire Uganda, Online, Nov-Dec 2020

Uganda currently hosts approximately 1.4 million refugees making it the largest refugee hosting country in Africa (Trocaire ToR, 2020). However, provision of humanitarian services based on internationally recognized standards is increasingly critical for the wellbeing of refugees and their harmonious integration with host communities. As part of Trócaire’s commitment to quality and accountability, Trócaire strives to meet the standards established by Sphere. All countries where Trocaire works are susceptible to humanitarian crises and staff are sometimes called upon suddenly to assist those in need.

One of the strategies for Trocaire in Uganda is to develop a group of Sphere Trainers in the country who can disseminate the knowledge while designing projects, capacity building of field staff, strengthen humanitarian program cycle and advocacy. Centre for Humanitarian Analytics (CHA), as a Sphere Focal Point that shares the same philosophy, were engaged by Trocaire Uganda to train twelve (12) participants drawn from Trocaire and its Partners from various humanitarian partners that operate in Northern Uganda. The training was online covering both theoretical and practical.
