S
ince mid-2011, under a new leadership, CeRaH has undertaken an in-depth reform based on several lessons learned from the past and taking into account a changing humanitarian environment. The ambition underpinning this reform process is to become an internationally renowned academic platform offering a wide range of post-graduate qualifications for humanitarian professionals, developing a research portfolio in humanitarian studies and stimulating debate and reflection on humanitarian issues to advance critical and innovative thinking. Our first priority this year was to rethink our training offer to better suit the evolving needs of humanitarian organisations and professionals. Creating at once eight new accredited courses and in addition offering several thematic seminars have put our capacity to innovate and at the same time to improve the quality of our teaching at a test. I can say with much relief and also pride that we succeeded! This has only been possible thanks to the amazing dedication of the CeRaH team and our wide network of committed persons from other academic institutions, humanitarian and international organizations. More than 150 invited lecturers enriched the courses with their diverse experiences and opinions, leading to stimulating debates in the classroom. according to the formal evaluations carried out during and at the end of each course, this new training offer has proven to be very relevant for experienced humanitarian professional. Our challenge for the coming year is to consolidate and further improve the geneva-based training programme. But we also have new ambitions! To further increase the flexibility and diversity of our training offer and to circumvent obstacles for students to join the geneva-based training programme, such as visa problems, high living

Message froM the Director
costs, absence from work, we want to develop distance learning courses. a first step was taken this year, teaching three of the seven weeks of the Certificate (CaS) Human Resources in Humanitarian Settings at distance. This experience was very useful to test a new approach. Our plans are to develop one full distance learning CaS in 2014 and to define a distance learning strategy for the coming three years. and why not add a MOOC to our portfolio? These Massive Open Online Courses could revolutionize higher education in the coming years. While CeRaH has offered training for humanitarian professionals for many years, the development of a research portfolio is a very recent endeavour. CeRaH’s goal is to become a research platform for researchers from various faculties of the University of geneva, the graduate Institute and humanitarian organisations with the objective to encourage a critical assessment of humanitarian practice in order to improve interventions. as a first step a three week course on research methods for MaS students was introduced to improve the quality of Master dissertations. We also started exploring the possibility to offer an interdisciplinary doctoral programme in humanitarian studies. It is currently very difficult for students wanting to do a doctorate in the humanitarian field to find an academic home, because most Universities offer doctoral studies based on a disciplinary approach. This would also be congruent with our wish to develop a novel interdisciplinary research project examining various aspects of the humanitarian enterprise in a specific context. as the continuous analysis of humanitarian contexts, trends and challenges is the basis for a sound educational and research programme, the dialogue with other academic institutions and more
importantly humanitarian organisations and actors is essential to ensure our activities are relevant to contemporary humanitarian practice. To further this reflection, we conceive CeRaH as a space for interaction between researchers and practitioners of the humanitarian field. Having convened three public debates this year, we would like to enhance this area of work by creating more opportunities for real and “virtual” interactions in the coming months. at the end of a very intense and productive academic year, I would also like to thank our partners for their support. First and foremost the three organisations represented in our board of directors, the Swiss Development Cooperation (SDC), MSF and the ICRC have contributed their ideas, their experience and also by providing human or financial resources. Our continued collaboration with the NgO Management School, Handicap International and others has allowed us to implement the new training offer. Finally, the scholarships offered by the Canton of geneva and the Foundation Hans Wilsdorf have given professionals from all over the world the opportunity to benefit from CeRaH’s training and the richness of geneva’s humanitarian and international environment. I wish them much success in their future career and hope we will stay in close contact through our alumni network. geneva, June 2013
SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION OF OUR NEW TRAINING OFFER
B
ased on a wide consultation process with humanitarian partners and academics, and integrating the recommendations of an international conference on humanitarian education and training co-organised by CERAH and ELRAH in October 2011, a new training offer has been developed and launched this academic year. The Master of Advanced Studies in Humanitarian Action has been redesigned introducing new training offers, the Diploma of Advanced Studies and six new Certificates of Advanced Studies. All these interdisciplinary and specialized courses proposed by CERAH combine both theoretical and practical elements with the aim of improving humanitarian response to crisis. The challenges of present-day humanitarian operations are examined within contexts of armed conflicts, “natural” disasters, and social exclusion, with a special focus on the dynamic between emergency and development. Pedagogical methods are diverse and include lectures, case studies, role-plays, conferences, videos, personal readings, debates, site visits and a “real-life” assessment in partnership with a Swiss organization. Another novelty brought by this major reform is that all classes are now taught in English only. However, French speakers can write their papers or dissertations in French. This switch to English led to an immediate rise in applications from anglophone countries.
Master of Advanced Studies (MAS) in humanitarian action The MAS is the “hard-core” of CERAH. The MAS offers postgraduate-level education focused on building in-depth competencies for managers in humanitarian settings. It provides participants with a strong understanding of the central conceptual and operational aspects of humanitarian action and capacity to define and implement strategic humanitarian interventions. It combines theoretical knowledge and practical skills applicable in the challenging context of humanitarian operations. It is organized in three parts; a core curriculum, two elective courses (CAS) on a specialized subject and a master dissertation. It is a 10 to 12-month, full-time programme of 60 ECTS credits. However, from this year onwards, the MAS can also be completed in up to 5 years due to the flexibility between our modules (DAS, CAS). In 2012, CERAH received 125 applications for the MAS and DAS. 20 students were selected. Six of these with scholarship could not attend the course due to visa problems, political insecurity and personal reasons. Three weeks of teaching on how to develop and write a scientific paper and on understanding basic qualitative and quantitative research methods were included in the MAS curriculum. Combined with a more adaptive tutoring of students, this should enhance the quality of the final dissertations. In the second semester students had to choose two among six optional courses (CAS). While the choice was at times difficult, as many of the CAS seemed attractive, overall students were very satisfied to complement the more conceptual and analytical DAS courses, with a more skills-oriented training in a particular area of interest.

SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION OF OUR NEW TRAINING OFFER
Diploma of Advanced Studies (DAS) in humanitarian action The DAS is a 19 weeks (end September to January) course corresponding to 30 credits ECTS. During the DAS in Humanitarian Action, students analyse the historical, geopolitical, legal, environmental and social origins of humanitarian crises, critically review past and current humanitarian responses in line with humanitarian principles and learn methodological and conceptual tools to reflect on contemporary humanitarian action and on their own practice. This course is the core curriculum of the MAS but can also be attended separately. The final evaluation of the DAS showed a high level of overall satisfaction of more than 90%. It highlighted strengths of this new teaching offer, such as excellent quality of teaching and case studies, field experience from lecturers and the focus on critical analysis and deconstruction of humanitarian action. There is also room for improvement. For example, the main concepts used during the DAS should be defined at the outset and a concluding session in the final week should link all weeks and modules. Students also asked for opportunities to learn about research methods and how to analyse a scientific paper.
Certificates of Advanced Studies (CAS) in humanitarian action Since autumn 2012, the CERAH offers six new graduate training programmes: the Certificates of Advanced Studies in Humanitarian Action. These seven-week courses correspond to 10 credits ECTS and are designed for managers in order to improve their competencies and leadership in defining and implementing intervention strategies in specific areas. They focus on problem solving and are based on the participant’s professional reality. The participatory nature of the programme requires that students contribute actively to discussions and group work on case studies. As such, it is expected that the participants have some prior knowledge on the subject area that they choose to pursue during the CAS. The number of registrations was lower than expected in this first year due to the fact that promotion of this new offer started late and that we cannot offer scholarships for these courses. The classes were a real success with a high satisfaction rate, which is very encouraging for our next academic year. • CAS Strategic Development and Management of Humanitarian Action With the rise of complex humanitarian crises, humanitarian workers are facing challenges and dilemmas. This course aims to provide managers with relevant analytical tools with a focus on planning and developing appropriate intervention strategies. The CAS is developed in partnership with NGO Management School Switzerland. In addition, a special partnership with the Hospice Général of Geneva allowed the students to assess the needs of three centres for asylum seekers as part of their learning process. • CAS Communication and Advocacy for Humanitarian Action The success of humanitarian projects carried out in emergency settings requires clear and efficient communication strategies. This course provides participants with a clear knowledge on the different stages of communication in emergency contexts, and the strategies, which can be used to effectively advocate for humanitarian projects in these settings.

• CAS Health in Humanitarian Emergencies Caring for the health of vulnerable populations lies at the heart of most humanitarian emergencies. This course provides humanitarian professionals with the relevant analytical tools in order to identify and monitor health problems during crises, and how to develop effective and appropriate intervention strategies in complex situations. • CAS Legal environment of Humanitarian Action Given the contexts in which humanitarian emergencies unfold, the corresponding legal situation is often highly complex and even contradictory. This course offers a broad perspective on the legal environment in which humanitarian action takes place and allows participants to develop a critical analysis of the legal tools available to humanitarian professionals. • CAS Disaster Management The last decade has seen a marked increase in large scale, “natural” disasters resulting in overwhelming challenges for humanitarian organisations, especially when they affect urban environments. The course focuses on how humanitarian workers can better respond to such disasters by understanding the complexities associated with aid projects delivered in these contexts. • CAS Human Resources in Humanitarian Settings / People Management The growing professionalisation of the humanitarian sector has created new challenges for humanitarian organisations such as managing their staff. This course focuses on the manager’s role in order to improve team management in difficult and moving operational contexts. This CAS is developed in partnership with Médecins Sans Frontières Suisse. This CAS also included three distance-learning weeks as a pilot for the CERAH distance learning project and two thematic seminars.
Thematic Seminars In cooperation with a range of partners engaged in the humanitarian field, the CERAH offers one-week thematic seminars on a number of relevant and current topics related to humanitarian action. This academic year, five seminars were proposed: • Advocacy for Humanitarian Projects in Health (in partnership with MSF) • Advocacy for Humanitarian Projects • The Core Role of Team Managers in Humanitarian Settings (in partnership with MSF) • Team management (in partnership with MSF CH) • Project Cycle Management (in partnership with NGO Management School Switzerland)

I come from georgia and I was displaced when I was 11. I have lived in the collective centre for several years as an Internally Displaced person (IDp). Today, I am the executive Director of one of the largest national georgian NgOs – Charity Humanitarian Centre “abkhazeti” which strives to support and empower war-affected populations. I have immensely benefitted from the programme of Master of advanced Studies in Humanitarian action. The excellent combination of the CaS on “Strategic Development and Management of Humanitarian action” and the CaS on “Humanitarian Resources Management in Humanitarian Settings” have particularly improved my competencies and skills in humanitarian management qualities. I am planning to continue my previous work and tackle my professional challenges with more confidence and expertise. Being in geneva and having the opportunity of meeting humanitarian professionals from different contexts has also considerably widened my horizons.

CeRaH is like my home. I grew up in palestine in a camp called arroup camp between Hebron and Bethlehem. I studied medicine in Syria and then I worked for Jordanian Women’s Union (JWU) as a medical coordinator. I first worked on a project involving health assistance for abused women and children who were admitted to JWU shelter, then as a coordinator of the health project, which targeted the Iraqi refugees in Jordan. Driven by the motivation to put my skills as a medical doctor to the best possible use in areas of conflict and disasters and my boss recommendation, I applied at the CeRaH and had the great chance of obtaining a scholarship. The CeRaH was an amazing experience and I cannot forget my colleagues, the teachers, the administrative staff and outside speakers. The DaS is a very complete and comprehensive course. It gives you scientific knowledge and also very specific practical skills as many speakers come from the field. The diversity is also an advantage as we are sharing and debating with people coming from different contexts, cultures and experiences. It is much more than an academic centre, it gives you life experience. Today, I have my diploma and have been appointed at the International Committee of the Red Cross as a Medical Coordinator. I would highly recommend the CeRaH.

I am leaving geneva this evening to go back to Congo. I would like to thank the CeRaH team for giving me the opportunity to attend this high quality training which is, not only very important for my humanitarian career but also essential for victims of crisis and other humanitarian dramas which continue to operate in the eastern part of my country where I am working for victims of conflicts. Frankly, I have learnt a lot from this multi disciplinary course. even though I am missing 2 CaS (as one says in French “l’appétit vient en mangeant”: the more you have the more you want) and I would have enjoyed attending the CaS, I must say that nothing is lost and I remain confident! I hope to see you again in the near future .

Scholarships for MAS/DAS in humanitarian action Every year, CERAH receives contributions from two key partners, the Service de la Solidarité Internationale and the Fondation Hans Wilsdorf. CERAH would not have the opportunity to welcome participants from southern countries without their precious support. This is part of our mission: reinforce the capacities of professionals from all over the word especially coming from countries in crisis. The diversity of our students is one of the main strength and advantage of our training offer. However, most of our scholarship students encountered problems to obtain their visa. • Service de la Solidarité internationale (SSI): The support of the Canton of Geneva allowed 14 participants coming from developing countries to attend the MAS/DAS in humanitarian action for the 2012/2013 academic year. Initially, the SSI had granted a contribution of CHF 182,000. In order to finance the registration fees of our 14 participants. Due to difficulties of issuing visas, CERAH had to give back part of the financing (CHF 24,492). • Fondation Hans Wilsdorf: The Fondation granted 12 scholarships for the academic year 2012/2013. Initially, the total sum granted was CHF 200,000. For the same reasons as the SSI, CERAH had to restitute CHF 7,407 to the Fondation. CERAH used a total of CHF 192,593.
Boosting our alumni network Early January, CERAH launched a survey among all its alumni. In total, 42 alumni replied (15 in English and 27 in French) – thus representing 15% of the total alumni population. The survey clearly indicated that there is a need for a framework to manage the alumni community. The investment should be proportionate, with tangible benefits and services, which are adapted to the specific needs of CERAH alumni community. Structured alumni communities are indicators for strong programmes and CERAH will closely follow up on the findings of the survey as it clearly considers the alumni as a key asset for the future. CERAH is keen to dedicate resources in order to facilitate opportunities like networking and career opportunities for both alumni and present students. While reengaging with alumni who have not kept in touch for years may present a number of challenges, CERAH is strongly motivated to engage current and future students as key ambassadors and beneficiaries and has planned to work on developing this network and to launch a professional interactive platform in the upcoming academic year.

RESEARCH
C
ERAH’s mission is to provide a research platform for researchers from various faculties of the University of Geneva, the Graduate Institute (IHEID) and humanitarian organizations. The objective is to encourage a critical assessment of humanitarian practice in order to improve interventions. To identify potential themes and areas for a future interdisciplinary research project, a state-of-the-art review on humanitarian action in South Sudan was undertaken.
In addition, the various possibilities of establishing a doctoral programme in humanitarian studies within the existing academic structures are being explored. A report with concrete proposals for discussion with CERAH’s supervisory committee will be available before the end of 2013.
CERAH, A PLATFORM FOR CONFERENCES AND DEBATES
T
his year, the Centre also considerably increased its participation in conferences and public lectures dedicated to humanitarian topics. In October, Prof. Doris Schopper spoke during the XIV Berlin Humanitarian Congress. In January, she was a panellist during the online discussion “Choices and dilemmas. Healthcare workers on the frontline” organised by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). In March, on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the ICRC, the International Review of the Red Cross and CERAH convened a debate on current dilemmas in operationalizing the principles of neutrality, impartiality, independence and humanity. In April, CERAH co-organized a full day event “Responding to famine: mobilizations, operations and humanitarian practices. Historical perspectives”, our lecturer Valérie Gorin being one of the speakers. This international conference gave a historical perspective on famine over the past two centuries in order to better understand how to respond in the future. In May, Dr. Edith Kolo Favoreu participated to the debate on the humanitarians of
tomorrow at the 30th anniversary of the Bioforce Institute. And finally, CERAH and the Geneva Academy of International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights co-organized a round table on the occasion of the launch of the book “International Disaster Response Law”. During the year, several CERAH lecturers / researchers, participated in various events. As an example, Christophe Golay, teacher at CERAH and researcher at the Geneva Academy of International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights participated in a discussion on the occasion of the International Film Festival and Forum on Human Rights (FIFDH).
COMMUNICATION and PROMOTION
I
n order to support the major changes in its training offer, CERAH invested in new communication and marketing tools. A marketing campaign was set up in 2012 which included the launch of a new visual identity, a brand new website (www.cerahgeneve. ch), new promotional material, running of Google ads campaigns and the launch of LinkedIn and Facebook CERAH corporate pages. In parallel, several targeted mailings were sent out via a growing database (3000 records). A LinkedIn MAS campaign was also launched in February 2013 in order to promote the MAS and CAS. Finally, CERAH also promoted its activities during events such
13
as the Forum CINFO and the Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction in Switzerland, the Salon des Solidarités in France, the Vienna Humanitarian Congress in Austria. Upfront, CERAH staff handling administation, human resources and finance played a crucial role in the set up and smooth implementation of the training reform and all CERAH activities.
FINANCE
T
he overall budget is around CHF 1,612,900 as compared to CHF 1,054,100 for 2011/2012. Many different partners contribute to the CERAH funding as shown in the figure.
In addition to their direct financial contribution, the University of Geneva and the Graduate Institute provide lecturers, office space, classrooms and administrative support to CERAH. This year, the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (DDC) kindly offered the award of CHF 2000 for the best dissertation in English and the Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie (OIF), an award of CHF 1500 for the best dissertation in French. CERAH takes this opportunity to warmly thank all its donors and partners for their generosity and support.
