I. MSF Training: General Information
Training policy
MSF OCB
1. Learning in MSF...
Learning is a key strategic instrument to build and optimise the human capital needed to assist the
populations we serve. MSF is committed to increasing access to learning for all staff across the board
and at the same time to rationalising our resources, using a model of flexible and modular training which
puts the student at the centre of the learning environment and with the point of delivery as close as
possible in time and location to the learner when learning needs are identified. Our training actions must
contribute to strengthening the identity, culture and spirit of the organisation.
2. Linkages to HR development policy
Learning activities are linked to a wider HR development policy. Recruitment: effective recruitment can
ensure that core and generic competencies are verified as well as technical and language skills. Staff
development activities should primarily be designed to enhance existing knowledge and strengthen
performance in the current job; prepare staff for career changes (within MSF); prepare staff for career
transition (outside MSF); instil in staff the values, behaviour and attitudes expected in all MSF staff.
Development: effective career management will ensure that the learning periods will be in line with the
needs of the person and with the needs of MSF.
3. Learning objectives and methodologies
A learning strategy must be based on clear and legitimate objectives, that are defined by the needs
expressed both by MSF and by the individuals. The MSF training team encourages MSF staff and
training providers to think of learning in the broadest sense. This means that the learning that will be
offered to MSF staff will be a blend of on-the-job training, apprenticeship, in-house training courses,
external courses, e-learning, self-study programs (including professional reading), coaching and
mentoring, cross-training provided by other colleagues, decentralised training and developmental
assignments. Learning methodologies will be appropriate to the learning objective.
4. Impact of training
Real learning is often not easily measured. Course attendance is tangible and must be recorded. But
every effort must be made to go beyond attendance. Assessing skills and knowledge can be done quite
objectively through tests of various kinds. Behaviour change, attitudes and impact on the job is clearly
more difficult but should be assessed through job performance. The evaluation system is an essential
tool in making the connection between learning needs and training impact. MSF must better measure
the impact of its trainings, make sure that the training courses are organised on-the-job or as soon as
possible before the acquired competencies are to be used. MSF is committed to encouraging
attendance at external training courses, tailor made to the needs of participants, and serving to
strengthen the expected competences as part of talent management.
5. Equal training opportunities
HQ, national and international staff have equal training opportunities. The selection of participants is
based on criteria of competencies, level of responsibilities and talent management.
6. Internationalisation of trainings
In an effort to rationalise and optimise its resources, MSF-OCB favours the internationalisation of
training contents and organisation across the movement. In order to achieve this, OCB attends the
International training and development group meetings and helps to define the group's action plan. The
OCB partner sections must be involved in these discussions and contribute to these objectives.
7. Moral commitment
Training is a mutual commitment between MSF and the participant, who has to commit to working for 12
months after in-house training. For external training and study grants, the commitment can extend to 24
months, according to the amount granted. The person will be asked to sign a document and will be
asked to refund pro rata if the commitment is not fulfilled.

I. Formation MSF : Informations générales
Politique de formation
MSF OCB
1. Apprendre chez MSF...
Apprendre est un instrument clé dans la construction et l’optimalisation du capital humain. MSF s’engage à
augmenter l’accès à l’apprentissage pour l’ensemble du personnel et, dans le même temps, à rationaliser nous
ressources. Nous fonctionnons de manière flexible, avec des formations par modules, plaçant le participant au
centre de l’environnement d’apprentissage et dans le but d’être au plus près des besoins identifiés par le terrain.
Nos actions de formation doivent contribuer à renforcer l’identité, la culture et l’esprit de l’organisation.
2. Liens avec la politique de développement RH
Les activités d’apprentissage sont liées à une cadre plus large de développement des ressources humaines.
Ainsi, un recrutement efficace des participants signifie que nous vérifions quelles compétences de base doivent
être mises en jeu ainsi que les compétences linguistiques requises. Les activités de développement ont comme
premier objectif de relever les connaissances actuelles du personnel et d’optimaliser les performances pour un
poste donné. Elles servent également à préparer les gens pour leur évolution de carrière chez MSF autant que
pour la transition éventuelle après MSF.
3. Objectifs et méthodes d’apprentissage
Une stratégie d’apprentissage doit être basée sur des objectifs clairs et légitimés, qui sont eux-mêmes définis par
des besoins exprimés tant pour l’organisation MSF que pour les individus. Cela signifie que l’apprentissage offert
au personnel MSF s’inscrit dans plusieurs formules possibles : apprentissage en situation de travail, stages,
formations internes, cours externes, e-Learning, programmes d’apprentissage individualisés (dont des lectures à
visée professionnalisante), accompagnement et supervision technique, Intervision entre collègues, formations
décentralisées et missions de développement. Les méthodologies d’apprentissage correspondent aux objectifs
pédagogiques.
4. Impact des formations
L’apprentissage réel n’est pas facilement mesurable. La participation aux formations est concrète et doit être
prise en compte dans l’évaluation des formations. Evaluer les compétences et les connaissances peut par
exemple être fait grâce à des tests de différentes natures. Il est par contre beaucoup plus difficile de rendre
compte des adaptations comportementales et attitudinales sur le lieu de travail. MSF s’engage à mesurer l’impact
de ses formations et s’assurer également que les sessions de formation soient rendues disponibles au moment
requis pour l’acquisition des compétences nécessaires à bien faire son travail. MSF encourage également la
participation à des formations externes, répondant à des besoins spécifiques et servant à ramener vers l’intérieur
les compétences attendues en terme de gestion du talent.
5. Equité dans les opportunités offertes de formations
Tant le personnel de terrain (staff national et expatriés) que celui du siège doivent bénéficier d’opportunités
égales de formations. La sélection des participants est basée sur des critères liés aux compétences, au niveau de
responsabilités et à la gestion du talent.
6. Internationalisation des formations
Dans un effort de rationaliser et d’optimaliser ses ressources, MSF Belgique favorise l’internationalisation tant des
contenus que de l’organisation des formation au travers de l’ensemble du mouvement MSF. Afin d’atteindre cet
objectif, MSF Belgique participe à des réunions internationales et aide à définir des plans d’actions globaux. Les
sections partenaires sont également impliquées dans ce processus.
7. Engagement moral
La formation est un engagement mutuel entre MSF et le participant. Ce dernier s’engage à travail pour MSF dans
un période minimum de 12 mois dans la suite d’une formation interne. En ce qui concerne la participation de MSF
à des formations externes et des bourses d’études, l’engagement peut aller jusqu’à 24 mois, en proportion du
montant de participation de MSF. Il est demandé au participant de signer son engagement. Un remboursement
sera demandé au prorata de la période de travail accomplie.
11
Perspectives for 2013
1. New trainings will be offered...
In hospital management : For a while now, MSF Belgium recognizes the need to better prepare and
follow our people in charge of hospital management. A training will finally take place this year as a
pilot, in the last trimester of 2013
In Field administration : the admins newly recruited for the field didn’t have any initial training until
now. This training will be set up in 2013 and will provide them with the necessary tools to be more
efficient in their work.
The e-Learning Nutrition in French : 2012 allowed us, not without difficulties, to translate in French
the basic nutrition course. Early 2013 the course will therefore be available for the French speaking
public --> see page : 39
In leadership and team management : pilot sessions were organised in 2012 on the field and were
crowned with success. Many people would like to take part in these trainings. For this reason we will
organise more of them in 2013. Further studies will be made to see what other possibilities we have
to support our staff in charge of team management --> see page : 94
The intercultural question is still a substantial scope for an international organisation such as MSF.
Many difficulties still regularly appear between people from different cultures. It’s the reason why
tangible propositions will be made at different learning levels and in the program to escort our staff in
being aware of the relational challenges in a multicultural context.
Languages learning will also be honoured in 2013 in with the instauration of a standardised
evaluation of the level attained as well as by offering language trainings (politics and access
conditions in development) for the staff on the field.
2. MSF induction sessions will be updated...
The Preparation of Primary Departure (PPD) is essential to learn and capture MSF’s values as well
as to prepare for life in a mission / in a team. It’s being reviewed at the moment in order to make it
even more efficient. By mid 2013 it will be transformed into line with the briefing/debriefing revision. --> see page : 24
The preparation session to become an MSF ambassador on the field, the SANOU, has also been
reviewed and it’s benefit for the teams on the field has been confirmed ! Therefore, numerous
sessions will be organised in the missions again in 2013 --> see page : 26 and 28
3. A training program for the Headquarters will be set up...
The headquarters’ staff will not be forgotten in 2013. Based on an update of the training needs, a
series of useful themes will be suggested start of 2013. Furthermore, the way of analyse of these
needs from HQ staff will be improved to insure, in greater continuity and relevance, yearly programs
of training for them. Appropriate communication about this will be made in due time...
4. Our methods will be improved and our analyses more detailed...
The program of trainings offered by MSF – Belgium each year is now very large. Thereby we feel
today the need to improve our overall vision and our strategical analysis by setting up more efficient
evaluation tools and by reinforcing our pedagogical expertise : to train even « closer » from the needs
- by means of professional situations – in being more aware the specific competences to develop.
New methods will allow us in particular to better define our needs and better understand the impact of
our trainings !

Perspectives pour 2013
1. De nouvelles formations sont proposées...
en gestion hospitalière : depuis longtemps déjà MSF Belgique reconnait le besoin prégnant de
mieux préparer et accompagner le personnel en charge de la gestion hospitalière. Une formation sera
enfin dispensée, à titre de pilote, dans le dernier trimestre 2013
en administration terrain : les administrateurs nouvellement engagés pour le terrain ne bénéficient
pas à ce jour de formation initiale. Cette formation sera mise sur pied en 2013 et leur donnera les
outils requis par accomplir leur mission avec davantage d’efficacité.
le e-Learning Nutrition en français : 2012 a permis, non sans difficultés, que soit traduit en français
le cours de base Nutrition. Dès début 2013, ce cours sera disponible pour le public francophone -->
voir page : 39
en leadership et gestion d’équipes : des sessions pilotes ont été organisées en 2012 sur le terrain
et ont remporté un franc succès. Nombreux sont ceux qui désirent participer à ces sessions, raison
pour laquelle un nombre plus conséquent de ces formations sera proposé en 2013. Des réflexions
seront également posées pour déterminer quelles autres pistes peuvent être mises en place sur le
terrain pour mieux soutenir les fonctions liées à la gestion d’équipe --> voir page : 94
la question interculturelle est d’une portée conséquente pour une organisation internationale telle
que MSF. De nombreuses difficultés continuent à apparaître régulièrement dans cette coexistence
continue de personnes issues de cultures différentes. C’est pourquoi des propositions concrètes
seront faites à différents niveaux d’apprentissage et du programme pour mieux accompagner le
personnel dans la prise en compte des enjeux relationnels en contexte multiculturel.
l’apprentissage des langues sera également mis à l’honneur en 2013 notamment par l’instauration
d’une évaluation standardisée du niveau acquis tout autant que par la mise à disposition de
formations (politique et conditions d’accès en cours de développement) en langues pour le personnel
de terrain.
2. Les sessions d’accueil / induction à MSF seront mises à jour...
La session de préparation à l’expatriation (actuellement intitulée Préparation au Premier Départ –
PPD) est essentielle tant pour l’appropriation des valeurs et principes MSF que pour la préparation de
la vie en équipes/mission. Elle fait actuellement l’objet d’une évaluation en profondeur en vue de
rendre ses objectifs davantage pertinents et les méthodes plus efficaces encore. Dès mi-2013, elle
sera transformée en cohérence avec la révision briefing/debriefing --> voir page : 24
La session de préparation à être ambassadeur de MSF sur le terrain, intitulée SANOU, a
également fait l’objet d’une évaluation où se voit confirmé toute l’intérêt qu’elle constitue pour les
équipes sur le terrain, en complément de la préparation à l’expatriation. De nombreuses sessions
seront donc dispensées au sein des missions en 2013 --> voir page : 26 et 28
3. Un programme de formation pour le siège sera dispensé...
Le personnel du siège ne sera pas en reste en 2013. Sur base d’une mise à jour des besoins en
formation, un ensemble de thèmes utiles sera proposé début 2013. En outre, les méthodes d’analyse
de ces besoins du personnel siège feront l’objet d’une amélioration pour assurer, dans une meilleure
continuité et pertinence, des programmes annuels de formations à leur attention. Une communication
appropriée sera faite en conséquence...
4. Nos méthodes seront améliorées et nos analyses plus poussées...
Le programme de formations proposé par MSF-Belgique chaque année est désormais très
volumineux. De ce fait, se ressent aujourd’hui le besoin d’améliorer notre vision globale et notre
analyse stratégique par la mise en place d’outils d’évaluation plus performants ainsi que de renforcer
notre expertise pédagogique : former encore plus « près » des besoins – par le biais de situations
professionnelles – tenant mieux compte des compétences spécifiques à acquérir. De nouvelles
méthodes nous permettront en particulier du mieux définir les besoins ainsi que de mieux comprendre
l’impact de nos formations !

Selection Procedure for MSF Training
1. Application
1
Candidates who are in the field at the time of application send an application form to their HR Coordinator
(HR-Co) who transmits it to:
The Pool Manager (PM) if the candidate is an expat;
The HR Officer (HRO) in the cell if the candidate is a national staff.
Candidates who are in-between missions at the time of application send their application directly to their Pool
Manager (PM).
If the candidate fits the selection criteria for the training he/she is applying for, he/she is automatically
added to the list of applicants for the training by his/her PM or HRO.
If he/she does not fit the criteria, the PM or HRO explains to him/her why his/her application has been
refused.
All applicants must fill in an application form. No other type of application will be accepted. Applications must
be submitted at least 3 months prior to the start of the training.
2. Approval by the Operations (OPS): The Cell and the Mission
Points A, B and C apply to expats. National staff should follow the procedure explained in C1.
A/ Not in a mission, neither at the time of application nor at the time of training: No problem. The
applicant fills in an application form and submits it to his/her PM.
B/ Not in a mission at the time of application, but will be in a mission at the time of training: The
applicant fills in an application form and submits it to his/her PM. However, in this case the mission has to be
informed - and has to agree - before the candidate is enrolled in the training.
Chain: The PM informs the HRO in the cell who informs the Coordination team of the expat’s future mission
before the candidate is enrolled definitively in the training. If the cell and the mission agree at this stage, the
participation in the training will be mentioned in the Departure Form.
The expat’s participation in the training can then only be cancelled if operational constraints in the mission
where the expat will be working at the time of the training justify doing so. In that case, the HRO must inform
the PM and the Training Unit (TU) of the cancellation as soon as possible so that another candidate may be
offered the opportunity to participate in the training instead.
C/ In a mission at the time of application:
C1 - The training is requested by the applicant’s current mission or by the applicant himself/herself: The
applicant seeks approval from his/her direct supervisor, fills in the application form and submits it to
his/her HR-Co. The HR-Co is responsible for checking that the application form has been filled in
correctly before transmitting it to the applicant’s PM or HRO.
C2 The training is requested by the expat’s PM and does not necessarily have a direct link with the
expat’s current position. The PM will ask the applicant to fill in the application form and return it
directly to him/her. The applicant still needs approval from his/her direct supervisor.

See chapter III.

3. Validation
For each training, a Selection Committee gathers in order to decide who should participate in the training
according to operational priorities and needs. The deadline for selection is three months before the training
begins.
4. Result of the Selection Committee
Positive replies are communicated by the TU. The TU sends an e-mail to all selected applicants to confirm their
participation and provide them with basic information regarding the training (dates, location, etc.) at least one
month before the beginning of the course. The TU also asks all selected applicants to re-confirm their
participation.
Negative replies are communicated by the PM or the HRO because the TU does not have all the elements
behind the decision.
N.B.: If your application has been refused you will not automatically be given preference for the following
training. The selection of participants will always be made on the basis of operational needs.
5. Per Diem, Salary and Insurance
MSF covers all costs directly related to the training for the duration of the course, including transport, lodging
and breakfast. Participants following a training outside their mission, are entitled to a per diem (except PPD
participants) at the rate of the training location to cover lunch, dinner and sundries. Per diem will be paid out
by the home mission. Expats in-between missions will receive their per diem where the training is taking
place.
National staff and expats on mission (i.e. participants under MSF contract) will continue to receive their usual
salary throughout the training period while expats in-between missions (i.e. participants not under MSF
contract) will not receive any. Expats will continue to be covered by their usual insurance while national staff
and expats in-between missions will be covered by a specific insurance drawn up by the TU.

Procédure de sélection pour les formations MSF
1. Candidature
2
Les candidats qui sont sur le terrain au moment de postuler envoient un formulaire de candidature à leur HR
Coordinator (HR-Co) qui le transmet au :
Pool Manager (PM) si le candidat est un expatrié ;
HR Officer (HRO) dans la cellule si le candidat est un staff national.
Les candidats qui sont entre missions au moment de postuler envoient leur candidature directement au Pool
Manager (PM).
Si le candidat remplit les critères de sélection requis pour la formation à laquelle il a postulé, il est
automatiquement ajouté à la liste des candidats par le PM ou par le HRO.
Si le candidat ne remplit pas les critères, son PM ou son HRO lui explique la raison du refus.
Tous les candidats doivent remplir un formulaire de candidature. Aucun autre type de candidature ne sera
accepté. Les candidatures doivent être soumises au plus tard 3 mois avant le début de la formation.
1. Approbation par les Opérations (OPS) : cellule et mission
Les points A, B et C s’appliquent aux expatriés. Le staff national suit la procédure décrite au point C1.
A/ N’étant en mission ni au moment de la candidature, ni au moment de la formation : Pas de problème.
Le candidat remplit un formulaire de candidature et l’envoie à son PM.
B/ N’étant pas en mission au moment de la candidature mais sera en mission au moment de la
formation : Le candidat remplit un formulaire de candidature et l’envoie à son PM. Cependant, la mission doit
être informée – et doit donner son accord - avant que la personne ne soit inscrite à la formation.
Chaîne : Le PM informe le HRO dans la cellule qui informe l’équipe de Coordination de la mission avant que la
personne ne soit définitivement inscrite. Si la mission et la cellule acceptent à ce niveau, la participation à la
formation est mentionnée dans le formulaire de départ.
La formation ne peut alors être annulée qu’en cas de contraintes opérationnelles justifiées dans la mission où
l’expatrié va travailler au moment de la formation. Dans ce cas, le PM et l’Unité de Formation doivent être
informés par le HRO dans les plus brefs délais afin qu’un autre candidat ait la possibilité de participer.
C/ Etant en mission au moment de la candidature :
C1 – La formation est demandée par l’actuelle mission du candidat ou par le candidat lui-même : Le
candidat demande l’accord de son superviseur direct, remplit le formulaire de candidature et l’envoie
à son HR-Co. Le HR-Co est responsable de vérifier que le formulaire de candidature ait été rempli
correctement avant de le transmettre au PM ou au HRO du candidat.
C2 – La formation est demandée par le PM de l’expatrié et n’est pas nécessairement directement en lien
avec le poste actuel de l’expatrié. Le PM lui demandera de remplir le formulaire de candidature et de
le lui renvoyer directement. Néanmoins, le candidat doit toujours obtenir l’accord de son superviseur
direct.
2
Voir chapitre III.
16
2. Validation
Il existe un Comité de Sélection pour chaque formation qui se réunit pour décider qui sera sélectionné pour la
formation en fonction des besoins et priorités opérationnels. Le délai de sélection est fixé à trois mois avant le
début des cours.
3. Réponse d’une demande de formation
Les réponses positives sont communiquées par l’Unité de Formation. L’Unité de Formation envoie un e-mail à
tous les candidats sélectionnés au moins un mois avant le début de la formation pour confirmer leur
participation et leur donner des informations pratiques sur la formation (dates, lieu, etc.). L’Unité de Formation
demande aussi aux candidats sélectionnés de re-confirmer leur participation.
En cas de non acceptation, le candidat recevra un feedback du PM ou du HRO étant donné que l’Unité de
Formation ne détient pas tous les éléments justifiant la décision.
N.B. : Ce n’est pas parce que votre candidature a été refusée une première fois que vous serez prioritaire sur
la session suivante. La sélection dépendra toujours des besoins opérationnels.
4. Per diem, salaire et assurance
MSF prend en charge tous les frais directement liés à une formation interne, y compris le transport, le logement
et le petit-déjeuner pendant toute la durée de la formation. Les participants qui quittent leur mission le temps de
la formation ont droit à un per diem (sauf les participants du PPD) au taux qui s’applique au lieu où se tient la
formation pour couvrir le déjeuner, le dîner et les frais divers. Les participants recevront leur per diem en
mission. Les expatriés qui sont entre deux missions recevront leur per diem au lieu où se tient la formation.
Le staff national et les expatriés en mission continueront à recevoir leur salaire habituel pendant toute la
formation tandis que les expatriés entre missions n’en recevront pas. Les expatriés en mission continuent de
bénéficier de leur assurance habituelle tandis que le staff national et les expatriés entre missions seront
couverts d’une assurance spécifique contractée par le TU.

Important Notes

•
The TU is not responsible for the administrative follow-up or for the registration procedure with the
institution that has been designated by the applicant (individual responsibility).
In case of withdrawal from or non-admission to the course, automatic postponement will not be
accepted (contact the TU).
If the applicant does not fulfil his/her moral commitment, MSF may request for the total or partial
refund of the scholarship.
The maximum amount granted to an applicant is 16.000 EUR.
In general, MSF only contributes to costs directly linked to the studies (tuition fees, specific
supplies, books, etc.). Financial assistance to travel and accommodation expenses may be applied
for but is not likely to be granted.
A year of studying is very costly. Applicants are therefore asked to guarantee that they can cover
the costs that will not be paid by MSF.
MSF will not always cover 100% of the total cost of the training. This is especially the case when
the immediate operational value of the training is not established.
If the training is taking place during the grantee’s mission or contract, a maximum of 2 weeks
salary/per diem will be paid by MSF. The grantee will have to take paid or unpaid leave as from the
rd

3 week of the training .
Roles and Responsibilities
It is each participant’s responsibility to do his/her best to learn and reach the learning objectives, to obtain
the skills or defined attitudes, and to apply this new knowledge in future work placements. Participation in
the entire training is always a requirement.
9
The role of the supervising staff is doubly important: They are not only responsible for disseminating and
promoting information regarding training opportunities and encouraging participation, they are also
responsible for ensuring that the MSF training initiatives are effective by creating a framework that allows for
the transfer of new skills and their evaluation.

(carine.daenens@brussels.msf.org), for the content and the concept ; S.
Guillaumie (sophie.guillaumie@brussels.msf.org) for the matching between the
missions and the « Sanou Coordinators »
Target group
All the MSF employees, national and international staff, whatever their profile. It is advised to mix participants
in order to create a platform where different people can share their point of vue and their perception of various
topics.
This training is not a duplication of the PPD.
Objectives and content
Overall objective
“To strengthen MSF staff’s ability to act as “Ambassadors of MSF”, internally (with their colleagues, the
beneficiaries, ...) and externally (partners, communities, etc.)”.
The training is an introduction to MSF allowing the participants to understand better the principles of the
organization and to represent it around them.
List of modules
• What is MSF ? (identity, particularities, testimony...)
• MSF history (MSF’s evolution, big steps in history, how and why we decided to change some
orientations)
• Where does MSF work ? (areas of intervention, kind of activities we have in different settings...)
• Who works for MSF ? (how is a team composed, principle of complementarity, how to deal with
cultural differences in a mission...)
• MSF Structure & Funding (structure of the movement, international sections, the different
departments, funding...)
• MSF as an association (what does it mean ? , how associative and executive interact, how to become
a member, formal and informal associative...)
It is up to the missions to decide to organize all these sessions, or to choose only some of them.
A full “Sanou MSF” lasts in general three full days.
Teaching methods
The sessions are aimed to be as interactive as possible. They include pictures, games, movies, case studies,
debates, audio interviews... and some Power Point slides to summarise the information.
The purpose is that every mission becomes autonomous in the organization of its « Sanou MSF » - thanks to an
MSF kit made of a DVD, movies, interactive material. This kit will be left in the field. But in order to use the kit, a
short preparation is needed.
In this perspective, every mission wanting to organize a « Sanou » should talk about it to its HR-Co and its HRO.
A pool of « Sanou Coordinators » is ready to come and help to put in place a first edition of the « Sanou MSF ».
Thus the Coordinator(s) will come on the field during one week, and will bring a « Sanou MSF » suitcase that will
remain on the spot.
The Coordinator(s), during 2 days, will train Facilitators (3 to 6 members of the mission having a certain
experience with MSF). These facilitators will animate, with the help of the Coordinator(s), the first version of the
Sanou on the spot (3 days to foresee).
Then these facilitators will be able to organize on their own other « Sanou MSF » for other members of the MSF
staff in the country (this strategy already works in Niger, in Congo, in Pakistan...)

Coordinateurs Sanou.
Public cible
Tous les employés MSF, nationaux et internationaux, quel que soit leur profil. Il est d’ailleurs recommandé de
mélanger les participants de manière à créer une plateforme où les personnes peuvent partager leurs points
de vue et leurs perceptions sur différents sujets.
Cette formation n’est pas une duplication du PPD.
Objectifs et contenu
Objectif général
« Renforcer les capacités du staff MSF à agir en tant qu’ « Ambassadeurs de MSF », en interne (avec leurs
collègues, les bénéficiaires...) et en externe (les partenaires, la communauté, etc.) ».
La formation est une introduction à MSF permettant aux participants de mieux comprendre les principes de
l’organisation et de les représenter autour d’eux.
Aperçu des modules
• Qu’est-ce que MSF ? (identité, particularités, témoignages...)
• L’histoire de MSF (évolution de MSF, grandes étapes dans son histoire, comment et pourquoi nous
avons décidé de changer certaines orientations...)
• Où travaille MSF ? (aires d’interventions, le type d’activités que nous avons dans différents
contextes...)
• Qui travaille pour MSF ? (comment est composée une équipe, le principe de complémentarité,
comment vivre avec les différences culturelles en mission...)
• La structure et le financement de MSF (la structure du mouvement, les sections internationales, les
différents départements, d’où viennent les fonds de MSF...)
• MSF en tant qu’association (ce que ça signifie, comment l’associatif et l’exécutif interagissent,
comment devenir un membre de l’association, l’associatif formel et informel...)
Libre aux missions de décider d’organiser toutes les sessions, ou d’en choisir certaines. Un “Sanou MSF” complet
dure en général trois jours entiers.
Méthodes d’apprentissage
Sessions interactives basées sur des images, des jeux, des films, des études de cas, des débats, des entretiens
audio... et quelques diapositives Power Point pour résumer.
L’idée est que chaque terrain devienne autonome dans l’organisation de ses « Sanou MSF », et ce grâce à un kit
MSF comprenant un DVD, des films, du matériel interactif, qui sera laissé sur le terrain. Mais pour utiliser ce kit, il
faut une petite préparation.
Dans cette optique, la mission devra faire part de son intérêt à son HR-Co et à son HRO. Un pool de
« Coordinateurs Sanou » est prêt à venir aider à mettre sur pied une première édition du « Sanou MSF ». Le
Coordinateur viendra donc une semaine sur le terrain, en emportant une mallette « Sanou MSF » qui restera sur
place.
Les Coordinateurs, pendant 2 jours, formeront des facilitateurs (3 à 6 membres du personnel expérimenté de la
mission). Ce sont ces facilitateurs qui animeront, avec le soutien des Coordinateurs, la première version du
Sanou sur place (3 journées à prévoir).
Puis ces facilitateurs pourront organiser d’autres « Sanou MSF » pour les autres membres du personnel MSF
dans le pays (c’est ce qui se passe déjà au Niger, au Congo, au Pakistan...).

Target Group
Expatriate midwives and medical doctors (priority to gynaecologists) with at least one mission prior to course.
Priority will be given to expats in-between missions.
Objectives & Content
General Objective
To improve the maternal and neonatal outcome of obstetric emergencies faced in the field.
Specific Objective
• To help the participants maintain the knowledge and skills they need to effectively manage obstetrical
emergencies. The training aims to bring the participants to a high performance level in situations
that, in most settings, are only rarely occurring, acutely presenting and that, consequently, not
many birth attendants have routine in handling. Training in these situations increases the level of
security and quality of the response to the life threatening complications occurring in pregnancy
and childbirth. The course also serves as a multidisciplinary aid for training in obstetrics.
Furthermore we hope that the training will:
• Ensure coherence and quality in obstetrical training at all levels by equipping medical staff working in
obstetrics with a pedagogical framework for training national staff and colleagues in improved
responses to obstetric emergencies.
• Build capacities in and outside MSF projects by allowing our medical staff working in obstetrics to
acquire qualifications that are recognized outside MSF and thus help validate the knowledge, skills
and courage they usually obtain in MSF missions in regards to obstetric emergencies.
• Build a “pool” of MSF-ALSO-Instructors within MSF by certifying a small group of “MSF-ALSOinstructors” who, in turn, will provide further certification to MSF staff with external supervision of the
ALSO organisation.
Content
The ALSO training and certification provides instructions and training on PPH, Breech delivery,
undelivered shoulders, neonatal resuscitation, eclamtic fit and vacuum extraction deliveries. A small group
of participants (already ALSO certified) will be certified as instructors prior to the general certification with
one day’s preparation beforehand.
Teaching Methods
•
•
•
Individually reading 400 pages of obstetric pathology documentation beforehand. For expats in the
field we recommend arriving three days before the certification for reading as field life usually does
not allow for this kind of preparation.
Lectures and workshops using mnemonics (memo-technical tools) and hands-on exercises on
mannequins.
Exam by multiple choice tests and practical demonstration

Course Organization, Background and Teaching Methods
Each course runs over two weeks in Cape Town, South Africa. Two groups of 4 trainees each will overlap for a
central lecture week, with a practical week before for the first group, and afterwards for the second group.
The practical training will take place between an integrated HIV/TB clinic in Khayelitsha township (Ubuntu clinic), a
nearby secondary level referral hospital (GF Jooste), and the Red Cross childrens Hospital. Khayelitsha is one of
MSF’s oldest ARV programs, having started in 1999, and has over 10.000 patients on ARV’s, and a strong clinical
team. GF Jooste is the referral hospital for patients from the worst HIV and TB affected areas in Cape Town. They
have developed a strong Infectious Disease Unit who manage complex referral cases. Red Cross hospital is a
specialist paediatric hospital also with a strong infectious disease unit.
Limiting the practical weeks to four participants each allows for excellent hands-on learning in the clinic and
hospitals and close mentorship by experienced clinicians. This includes taking part in three consultant infectious
disease ward rounds.
46
The lecture week happens in the GF Jooste auditorium and will cover the core theory for the course. Teaching is
shared between local MSF doctors and a number of local infectious disease consultants and Paediatricians. The
teaching style will be clinical case orientated with as much group participation as possible. A highly experienced
Radiologist gives some practical chest X-ray interpretation teaching.

Introduction to Log Trainings for the 2013 MSF-OCB Training Brochure
The Strategy for Logistics Training 2013 and the Espace Bruno Corbé project document are available on request
from the MSFOCB Logistics Training Officer: robin.vincent-smith@brussels.msf.org
The most important axe of the log training strategy is that the PPD Log Week (PPDL) and Basic Logistics Course
(BLoC) are mandatory for all national and international staff, across all log profiles, in their first 12 months with
MSF (or in the case of national staff in their first 12 months in a senior position such as assistant/deputy field log
assistant/deputy LogCo). This is in order to maintain polyvalence emergency response capacity among all log
profiles.
st
• The PPDL is delivered to Expats before leaving for their 1 mission at the Espace Bruno Corbé (EBC) MSFOCB Training and Innovation Centre in Brussels. The PPDL is delivered to senior national staff as
on-the-job training by their Field Log / LogCo, and will be reinforced in 2013 by E-Learning.
• The BLoC is delivered to both national and international staff at the EBC in Brussels.
nd
The 2 axe of the log training strategy is to promote the role of the Field Log / LogCo as a trainer. The scheduled
international trainings listed in this brochure should be complemented not only by on-the-job training, but also by
regular, formal, small scale training sessions in the field. For example, you could dedicate one afternoon per
month to training, then define:
• a theme, for example: WatSan
• a target population, for example: log techs
• learning outcomes, for example: at the end of the session, participants will be able to perform batch
chlorination
• method, for example: 30 minutes theory followed by 1 hour practical demonstration
If you need help organising and delivering trainings then the ‘Little Training Course Preparation Guide’ – on the
OOPS key - is most useful. The Log Training Officer is also available to support these initiatives so please don’t
hesitate to Email.
Logistics trainings are divided into 4 levels across 3 axes:
• Level 1: Novice. The logistician is capable of managing one or more logistics activities under the
guidance and close supervision of his direct logistics supervisor. He is capable of maintaining an already
established logistics organization according to the existing procedures on a small scale projects outside
an emergency context. (1st departure as Expat / 1st post as Senior National staff Dep. Field Log / Dep.
CoTL)
•
Level 2: Confirmed. The logistician is able to manage all the activities at the level of a project of small to
medium size. On the basis of performance indicators, he provides a critical review of logistical
organization, proposes improvements to his direct logistics supervisor and puts them into practice. He is
capable of providing basic support to emergency programs. (6 – 12 months field experience as Expat /
Senior National staff)
•
Level 3: Coordinator. The logistician provides a strategic logistical vision and ensures availability of the
technical means to achieve the objectives targeted by this strategy, regardless of the size and type of
program. He/she is capable of coordinating several programs at once while providing them with support
that allows them a certain degree of autonomy. He/she is able to draft documents that will serve as a
reference for the programs concerned (policy, guideline, memorandum, manual, etc.). (2 years field
experience as Expat or Senior National staff = (Future) LogCo / Technician)
•
Level 4: Expert. The logistician is qualified in his area of competence and has – over time – acquired
experience in humanitarian logistics. This expertise – whether developed internally in MSF or not – is
used by all the missions to evaluate the technical quality of logistics activities in a program or mission,
provide training in the area concerned, develop documents and technical reference tools, and conduct
research and development projects. 3+ years of field experience = Log Cell / Technical Referent
•
Axe 1: General Log Training: Covering several log families across Support and Program logistics
•
Axe 2: Operational Context Training: Covering the logistics for a particular type of program: e.g.
Nutrition, Vaccination, Hospital Management. These trainings are run together with the Medics
•
Axe 3: Vertical Log Training: Covering logistics for all types of program in one particular log family: e.g.
Supply, ICT, Mechanics, Energy, Construction, etc.
For each of the log trainings listed in this brochure, we have indicated the level and the axe.

Introduction aux Formations Log pour la Brochure Formations de l’OCB
2013
La Stratégie de Formations logistique 2013 et le descriptif de projet pour l’Espace Bruno Corbé sont disponibles
sur demande auprès du responsable des formations logistiques de MSFOCB - robin.vincentsmith@brussels.msf.org
L’axe fondamental de la stratégie de formation logistique est que la Semaine Log PPD (PPDL) et le BLoC (Basic
Logistics Course) sont obligatoires pour tout le personnel national et international, pour tous les profils, dans les
12 mois suivant leur entrée à MSF (ou, dans le cas du personnel national, dans les 12 mois suivant leur entrée
dans une position de responsabilité, comme log adjoint ou CoTL adjoint). Ceci permet d’entretenir chez tous les
profils log la capacité de polyvalence nécessaire pour répondre aux urgences.
•
Le PPDL est donné aux Expats avant leur départ en première mission à l’Espace Bruno Corbé (EBC) Centre de formation et d’innovation MSFOCB à Bruxelles. Le PPDL est donné au personnel national en poste de
responsabilité sous la forme de formation en continue sur lieu de travail délivrée par le Log Manager/CoTL, et
sera renforcé en 2013 par du e-learning.
•
Le BLoC est donné au personnel national comme international à l’EBC à Bruxelles.
Le deuxième axe de la stratégie de formation log est de promouvoir le rôle du Log Manager/ CoTL comme
formateur. Les formations internationales programmées qui sont reprises dans cette brochure devraient être
complétées non seulement par une formation en continue sur le lieu de travail mais aussi par des petites séances
de formation formelle régulières sur le terrain. Par exemple, vous pourriez consacrer une après-midi par mois à
des formations, puis définir :
•
Un thème, par exemple : WatSan
•
Un groupe-cible, par exemple : les log techs
•
Un résultat d’apprentissage, par exemple : à la fin de la session, les participants seront capable de faire
une chlorination
•
Une méthode, par exemple : 30 minutes de théorie suivies par une heure de démonstration pratique
Si vous avez besoin d’aide pour organiser et donner ces formations, le ‘Petit guide de préparation d’un formation’
(sur la clé OOPS) est très utile. Le Responsable formations Log est aussi disponible pour donner son soutien à
ces initiatives; donc n’hésitez pas à le contacter par email.
Les formations logistiques se répartissent entre 4 niveaux, selon 3 axes :
•
Niveau 1 : Novice. Le logisticien est capable de gérer une ou plusieurs activités logistiques, sous la
direction et supervision de son responsable logistique direct. Il est capable d’entretenir une organisation logistique
déjà en place, en accord avec les procédures existantes, sur un petit projet hors contexte d’urgence (1er départ
er
comme Expat/ 1 poste de responsabilité pour staff national- Log adjoint ou CoTL adjoint)
•
Niveau 2 : Confirmé. Le logisticien est capable de gérer toutes les activités d’un projet de petite à
moyenne taille. Sur la base d’indicateurs de performance, il effectue une revue critique de l’organisation
logistique, propose des améliorations à son responsable logistique direct et les met en pratique. Il est en mesure
d’apporter un soutien basique à des programmes d’urgence (expérience de terrain de 6-12 mois comme Expat/
Staff national à un poste de responsabilité)
•
Niveau 3 : Coordinateur. Le logisticien apporte une vision stratégique de la logistique et s’assure que les
moyens techniques pour atteindre les objectifs de cette stratégie soient disponibles, quels que soient la taille et le
type de programme. Il/elle est capable de coordonner plusieurs programmes en même temps, et de leur donner
un soutien qui leur permette de fonctionner avec un certain degré d’autonomie. Il/elle est capable de rédiger des
documents qui feront référence pour les programmes concernés (politique, directives, mémorandum, manuel,
etc...) (2 ans d’expérience de terrain comme Expat ou Staff national = (Futur) CoTL/Technicien)
•
Niveau 4 : Expert. Le logisticien est qualifié dans son domaine de compétence et a acquis, au fil du
temps, une expérience en logistique humanitaire. Cette expertise (qu’elle ait été développée en interne chez MSF
ou non) est utilisée par toutes les missions pour évaluer la qualité technique des activités logistiques dans un
programme ou une mission, fournir des formations dans le domaine concerné, développer des documents et des
outils techniques de référence, et mener des projets de recherche et développement. 3 ans et plus d’expérience
de terrain = Log de cellule/Référent technique.
•
Axe 1 : Formations générales logistiques : Couvrent plusieurs familles log, dans le cadre de la
logistique de support et de programme.
60
•
Axe 2 : Formations opérationnelles de contexte : Couvrent l’aspect logistique d’un type particulier de
programme, p.ex. Nutrition, Vaccination, Gestion d’hôpital. Ces formations sont organisées conjointement avec
les Médicaux.
•
Axe 3 : Formations logistiques verticales : Couvrent les aspects logistiques pour tous types de
programme pour une famille log spécifique : p. ex. Supply, ICT, Mécanique, Energie, Construction, etc.

This training will introduce the participants to the key areas that need to be prepared for in the event of an
abduction of MSF staff in their mission and, how to manage at the mission level the first days of such a
crisis.
It is strongly recommended that this training is undertaken intersectionally.
The module will have a half day of theory and discussion followed by a semi-live scenario in which the
participants will have the opportunity to put theory into practice in a controlled situation.
There are common management approaches when it comes to handling an abduction. This course will
focus on generic approaches but will also refer to the MSF-OCB crisis plan. Despite this, other sectional
considerations will be addressed depending upon the participants.

Mentoring Support
What is it?
It is a process of learning from a colleague, usually older and/or more senior/experienced, and often
coming from the same working environment or same discipline.
The mentor provides advice where/when appropriate, shares knowledge and experiences, and teaches
using a low pressure, self-discovery approach.
The mentoring relationship focuses on tasks/role in the workplace and involves supporting the individual
as they address issues, helping the mentee develop their own solutions.
The final aim of the Mentor is not to fix issues in the project/mission, but to support the Mentee to identify
and find out solutions
Target group, the “Mentee” are:
First time FieldCo
First Time Head of Mission
Pre-requisites:
o Mentoring Support is not imposed, but must rather come at the initiative of the future
FieldCo/Head of Mission. The proposal to get such support can come either from the expat
him/herself, or his/her career manager
o Prior to the next match for a field mission: Competencies to be developed need to be identified by
the expat her/himself, validated and agreed upon with the Career Manager.
Objectives and Methods
The Mentoring Support is meant to improve “people and project management competencies” of MSF field
coordinators and Head of mission.
Methods:
- “On-Line” version: Mentee and Mentor will meet “face-2-face” a couple of time prior to field
departure. During the Mentee field mission, Mentee and mentor communicate and meet regularly
- mini: once a month – using Skype or telephone.
- “On-the-Field” version: from 2 to 4 weeks after the Mentee field’s departure, the mentor will
make a 2 weeks field-visit, and stay by the side of her/his mentee. After this field visit, Mentee and
Mentor maintain regular communication - mini: once a month – using Skype or telephone.
- Duration (for FieldCo and HoM): Mentoring support starts and ends with the field assignment,
which must be minimum 9 months!
Application: Get in touch with your Career manager (who will coordinate with your pool manager)!
Language: our Mentors have different backgrounds/nationalities. And, as much as possible, each Mentee shall
be matched with a Mentor sharing the same mother tongue.
Engagement: 1 year
