Overview and Objectives

According to the United Nations (December 2022), both long-standing and emerging conflicts, climate change, and social and economic instability will increase the number of people in need of humanitarian assistance to 339 million by 2023, equivalent to one person in 23 worldwide.

In this context, international organizations and governments will need to strengthen their capacity to respond to emergencies and the needs of these populations. The demand for personnel capable of working and intervening in such highly vulnerable conditions is therefore continuously increasing.
