According to the United Nations (December 2022), 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 — that is, one person out of every 23 worldwide.
In this context, international organizations and governments will need to strengthen their capacity to respond to emergencies and the needs of affected populations. The demand for personnel capable of working and intervening in situations of extreme vulnerability is therefore constantly increasing.
However, several studies have highlighted the relative scarcity of specialized training programs for professionals wishing to work in these contexts.
This Master’s program offers targeted training designed to strengthen and develop new skills in humanitarian response and in the planning of psychosocial interventions, aligned with the MHPSS framework promoted by international bodies.
