Our new hands-on, blended training suite – the Collaborative Leadership Programme (CLP) – is a direct answer to the need to address the critical structural challenges and capacity gaps that persist in responses to internal displacement situations.
Recognizing that no actor alone has all the tools and expertise to effectively respond to internal displacement, the training teaches the skills needed to ensure more collaborative, coordinated and integrated data processes that contribute to more coherent and nationally owned ecosystems. It equips governments and actors across the humanitarian, development, and peace nexus to translate the shared evidence base into more coordinated action.
It builds on JIPS’ expertise of treating collaboration as a skill, showcasing its added value as well as teaching it – drawing on 13+ years of experience working in diverse displacement contexts and supporting the establishment of more than 45 collaborative data collection platforms in-country.
Expanding on JIPS’ former Profiling Coordination Training, run successfully since 2012, Course 1 of the CLP “The fundamentals of transforming displacement data into action for solutions” equips participants with the fundamental methodological approaches, tools, and capacities needed to plan, manage, and facilitate collective data processes, moving from evidence to action.
This entails the joint generation, analysis, and use of data on internal displacement towards more coherent data ecosystems, the implementation of global standards and guidance on durable solutions, data responsibility, and IDP statistics.
Beyond teaching Collaborative Leadership skills, relevant for and beyond displacement data processes, the course offers a platform to exchange knowledge and good practices across contexts. Participants are invited to bring their real-life challenges to the live sessions, during the so-called ‘case clinics’, to discuss solutions with our team of experts and thus have direct access to JIPS technical support.
