Train The Trainer Programme was a great opportunity for me to connect with all trainers in the field who know best the context of Yemen and in specific the Civil Society Organisations in Yemen. HAD provided me with the right skills & knowledge to be able to tackle some difficult projects and tasks in my field of work. The academy is helping to leave a legacy and build the true capacity of local CSOs and to also have a team of local experts and trainers like myself who’ll be ready to provide training for the purpose of improving the performance of CSOs for the benefit of the Yemeni citizens.

“The training added new information and knowledge to my understanding which reflected in my report writing and proposals directed to stakeholders, decision makers and donors. I am now able to write reports that are more comprehensive clear, and rich with information. Since the training, we have secured new projects and are aiming to have long-term ones as well to ensure we maintain the sustainability of our association and benefit large numbers of vulnerable people in the Gaza Strip who are suffering from difficult conditions.” I’d like to give a massive thank you to HAD who helped me improve my skills and transformed my abilities as a humanitarian.”

“The programme has given me the opportunity to exchange knowledge and be part of a bigger change for communities in Yemen, as a women.”

“First, I would like to thank HAD team and the trainer who explained the lesson and the importance of follow-up, evaluation and accountability during our report writing and strategic planning trainings. I found the trainings to be very useful and focused on my needs as a humanitarian working in Iraq.”

“I learned the difference between primary and secondary sources and I benefited a lot, as the workshops were very focused on helping us with the type of work we do in the ministry and really strengthened my abilities & knowledge”

“It’s a brilliant leadership programme led by some of the finest trainers out there. I’ve definitely learnt a lot in the short space of just a week and can really see myself applying all the skills & knowledge to my role.”

“Taking on this programme has been an incredible journey so far. When I think about the things we’ve learned, some of my favourite parts have been doing a lot of workshops and hands on activities. There’s a lot of key take aways that can be applied to my day-to-day job and it’s been phenomenal to see how they can teach us the ways we can go about to be effective leaders. I would definitely recommend HAD for any learning needs you have.”

“ Working within the humanitarian sector could sometime feel like being in a marathon-constantly running, and sometimes without envisioning a finishing line. This course was a much-needed breathing space, where we had a chance to stop and reflect on our day-to-day job. We learnt about different learning styles, personality traits, and managing change with acceptors and resistors (active and passive) and much more! It was a bit of theory, a bit of practice and lots of fun 😊”

“The way the course was conducted was excellent and served as a good reminder to me about the important of GDPR. It also allowed networking with other people in similar roles to mine”
