The TC gives our staff the unique opportunity to access learning and training activities tailored to their contexts, work realities and needs. We believe that investing in human capital not only strengthens employee satisfaction, motivation and retention, by equipping them with the necessary knowledge, skills and attitudes to carry out their work successfully, but ultimately also leads to better humanitarian outcomes. Throughout the calendar year we run a number of learning events for our staff both in Nairobi and globally. From technical workshops and trainings on Food Security, Nutrition, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene to management trainings, Training of Trainers (ToTs) and project cycle management courses, our activities allow our staff to develop their technical skills, their ability to work effectively in a team and their management competencies.
