What will I learn?
I will learn:
- how to do a context analysis where I am working (region or country)
- assess the fragility factors and triggers that may impact on employment and decent work
- interpret fragile settings and articulate programming responses accordingly
What will I be able to do?
I will be able to:
- perform context analysis in regions or countries
- assess the fragility factors and identify the triggers that impact employment and decent work in fragile context
- propose programming responses to tackle fragility factors
How is the course organized?
The course is organized in 3 parts:
- Theory to master key concepts
- Follow a concrete example (analysis)
- Practice the ‘fragility compass’ in your own working context
Why should I join?
