About the course
Basic Humanitarian Negotiations goes
through simple key aspects of Humanitarian Negotiation for MSF.
This self-study course provides very basic
content through two animated characters, who explain in 4 videos the elements
needed to enhance the competences and skills related to preparing, planning,
conducting a negotiation with explanatory graphics.
Although we recommend that the course be
taken sequentially, each video is a stand-alone capsule that can be consulted
depending on the topic, so you can access the modules in any order and adapting
it to your availability. Completing the
training and doing the quizzes should take 1h.30 hours including enough time
for reflection and reading complementary materials.
This course is the step 1 of a wider
package of learning solutions to increase Negotiation competences
