The residential training will be held from 09 to 14 October 2022 in Reichenau an der Rax, Austria, with 24 participants. The Austrian Ministry of Defense with the support of the Ministry of the Interior are generously covering the training venue, board and accommodation for the duration of the course. We kindly ask your organization to take care of travel and applicable allowances.

CMCS, as part of OCHA’s Coordination Division, will lead the event. CMCS will bring together four interdependent emergency communities: a) OCHA and UN agencies; b) surge staff from Stand-by Partners, UNDAC and NSARAG; c) United Nations Member States, including domestic and international militaries; and d) non-governmental humanitarian organizations. We encourage mid-level managers to apply.
The objective of the training course is to: a) define the concept of humanitarian civil-military coordination (UN-CMCoord), including the five sets of UN-CMCoord guidance, b) assess the UN-CMCoord environment in operational contexts, and c) play a key role in support of UN-CMCoord as it relates to humanitarian access and protection outcomes.
