While data analysis plays a growing role across sectors, many professionals lack a clear understanding of how data can be effectively structured, interpreted, and visualized. Mapping geospatial data is a crucial first step in making complex patterns and relationships visible and in supporting evidence-based decision-making.

In this introductory training, you will gain a solid foundation in QGIS. You will learn core mapping concepts, work with accessible geospatial datasets, and develop an understanding of how professional maps are designed and applied in real-world contexts. By the end of the course, you will be able to work with maps independently and confidently, and to use QGIS as a practical and powerful tool in your professional work.

Members of ADH organizations can apply for fee reimbursement.

Climate-related hazards like floods, droughts, and heatwaves increasingly threaten water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) services globally. Vulnerable communities face worsening water scarcity, infrastructure damage, and health risks as climate variability intensifies.

This interactive online training equips participants with both a solid understanding of climate change impacts on WASH and practical skills to assess risks, apply adaptation strategies, and develop actionable plans to build climate-resilient WASH programs. It includes contextual exercises based on real-world scenarios from diverse contexts. Through case studies, peer exchange, group discussions, and hands-on exercises, participants will gain skills and get to know tools to effectively integrate climate adaptation into their WASH projects. Additional inputs from selected countries will provide further insights into technical and practical aspects.

Participants will receive a pre-training questionnaire to tailor sessions according to their experience and knowledge. The training emphasizes peer learning, diverse perspectives, and practical application to enhance climate resilience in WASH interventions.

While prior participation in the course “Introduction to Main Concepts and Terminologies in Climate Change Adaptation” is advisable, it is not required. A basic understanding of climate change and humanitarian WASH programming is helpful. If you are interested in gaining credit towards a Certificate of Advanced Studies, you may combine this course with another specific CCA course from aha, under prerequisite of passing the exam in form of individual work after completion of all courses (please also see the aha general exam regulation).

Modern leadership in humanitarian organizations requires much more than organizational skills—it requires a great sense of authenticity, resilience, and the ability to act straightforwardly and engagingly in a challenging and often hectic environment. Especially in demanding situations, leaders are required to provide clear guidance, make sound decisions, and support their teams with empathy.

In this three-day training course, you will learn the basics of value-oriented and reflective leadership in the humanitarian context. You will become familiar with key leadership models and explore your own leadership style, values, and role models. Practical tools and methods will help you to apply and develop leadership skills in your everyday work.

Interactive learning formats, real-life case studies, and peer coaching encourage personal reflection and collegial exchange. The goal is to expand your own repertoire of skills, effectively meet challenges, and promote a resilient, motivating team culture—in the spirit of responsible and sustainable leadership in NGOs.

The concrete course dates will be communicated shortly.
