Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practicals provide hands-on experience in applying policy analysis, programme design, and stakeholder engagement techniques. Learners work through simulated scenarios and real-world case studies to develop response and recovery plans that integrate policy requirements.

Practical Activities

• Policy Analysis Workshop — Learners analyse a set of policy documents and identify key provisions relevant to a disaster scenario. (8h)
• Response Plan Design Simulation — In groups, learners design a response plan for a simulated disaster, ensuring alignment with national and local policies. (10h)
• Recovery Programme Development Exercise — Learners create a recovery programme proposal that incorporates community participation and policy objectives. (10h)
• Stakeholder Engagement Role-Play — Learners participate in a simulated multi-stakeholder meeting to negotiate policy integration in a recovery programme. (8h)

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.
