Background:

Humanitarian

Leadership

Academy

4

The Humanitarian Leadership Academy (The Academy) works to

create a faster and more effective humanitarian response with

increased local participation and ownership. The Academy is a

global platform of learning connecting both humanitarian

professionals and non-traditional responders. The Academy seeks

to facilitate local participation in humanitarian preparedness and

response by strengthening capacities among local responders and

humanitarian organisations. The Academy strives for local

responders and humanitarian organisations to adopt appropriate

best practices and innovations for humanitarian preparedness and

response. In addition, the Academy aims to create sustainable

learning provision in the sector by supporting actors that provide

learning opportunities.

The Humanitarian Leadership Academy

Background:

Internal Learning Strategy

6

The purpose of defining an internal staff learning strategy is to ensure

that the Academy, as a new social start-up organisation, lives up to its

values of promoting continuous learning and knowledge in the sector

and utilises the content and methodologies that it promotes as high

quality learning.

Internal Learning Strategy

7

1. Review the Academy’s core strategy, operational approach,

induction pathway and current internal staff learning strategy

report (strategy, mindmap).

2. Drawing on existing competency frameworks (e.g. CHCF) that may

be relevant, create a core competency framework for the

Academy that focuses on;

1. Learning science, design and delivery

2. Humanitarian experience

3. Leadership

3. To enable the development of a personal learning journey utilising

existing and new Kaya content. Suggest a social learning

experience on Kaya (engage with managers/buddy, gamified

badges, interact with other teams) that tie together induction

content and the activities in during the induction period.
