The report ‘Pilot evaluation to assess the impact of e-learning on humanitarian aid work’, is the first of its kind to research the impact e-learning has and enables us to improve e-learning for humanitarian workers and improve aid delivery.
The report has found that humanitarian organisations and aid organisations need to:
- Ensure that appropriate training is available that will strengthen and support a learner’s experience.
- Better educate funders regarding the essentiality of supporting and strengthening organisational capacity to manage and coach learning processes.
- Commit to the individual learning process if transfer of learning is to successfully contribute to changes to the individual learner’s quality of work
- Ensure greater value of donor support not only by increasing investment but also assuring greater influence by donors to strengthen the sector for training & evaluation.
The need for continued learning has been recognised, and now the humanitarian sector needs to take a consistent approach in training their staff and volunteers.
