This guarantees the programme's 'professionalizing' vision. While including development and a rights-based approach, there will be a special emphasis on the humanitarian aspect and on the in-the-field operativity of the organizations and their programmes. The programme's objectives include supporting the organizations' field activities through studies responding to their demand, thus guaranteeing the programme's double utility and its feedback thanks to the reality brought in by humanitarian actors. Suitable for: Suitable for people who works for NGO or than people who wants to work for these organizations
