The Humanitarian Leadership Academy
Where we work:
Power of
Collaboration
The power of collaboration, an
innovative approach in the
sector, means that we build
networks of knowledge and
experience that we share
worldwide.
It is not just learning top – down, it
is learning and sharing from the
grassroots upwards.
On the ground and in communities
• Academy centres – working with national and local partners to
develop the right learning for communities
Digital and beyond
• Learning – Kaya, resource centre, live events, marketplace
• Knowledge – establish and disseminate knowledge and evidence
around effective learning approaches
• Innovation – use cutting edge techniques from the learning sector
and beyond
• Collaboration centres – research, learning development and
recognition for skills in the humanitarian sector
How we work:
Kaya is the Academy’s learning management system.
Kaya will host level 1 courses and level 2 learning pathways. Courses will be free-of-charge to learners around the world. There may be cost-recovery for some learning pathways.
Kaya will provide analytics and reporting on learner journeys through content, providing insight far beyond simple completion data.
Kaya is currently under development and will be implemented by 31 March 2016 at www.kayaconnect.org

Our Audience
Aggregate a high quality catalogue of existing responsive
content from humanitarian, academic & private sector partners
globally & locally.
Content – Aggregate first, build last
Learning pathways will aggregate and curate individual level one courses into level two pathways that cover both technical
subjects and professional/organisational development.
Pathways will include elearning, events and webinars, videos, PDFs quizzes, etc.
Pathways will be themed for different roles, different places, different needs. E.g. management essentials, core humanitarian volunteer package etc.
Pathways mean learners do not need to know exactly what they want to study, only what they want to achieve.
Learning pathways:
Who am I? Who do I want to be?
