EORE ESSENTIALS E-LEARNING COURSE
A sector wide EORE needs analysis conducted in the first year of the GICHD Strategy 2019-2022 identified insufficient standardised training opportunities for EORE practitioners at a global and intra-organisational level. The e-learning course, Introduction to EORE essentials, was launched in English in 2021 aimed at professionals involved in the management of mine action programmes and at protection, education and development actors that could benefit from an improved understanding of risk education. By the end of 2022, more than 1,000 people had completed the e-learning course. Upon the request of partners, the course was translated in Arabic. The French and Ukrainian versions will follow in 2023. With increased evidence of the potential of e-learning to widen learning opportunities, the GICHD started developing an advanced e-learning course on EORE for practitioners that is composed of four modules and is in line with the International Mine Action Standards (IMAS) and other good practice. This process took a highly collaborative approach that involved a group of EORE thematic experts from across organisations and contexts to ensure a product of a high standard. The quantitative data as well as anecdotal evidence of learners changing their practices after completing the e-learning courses, indicate an increased uptake of e-learning that ultimately contributes to the professionalisation of the sector. Another achievement is the commitment of EORE operators and national mine action authorities (NMAAs) to integrate the entire EORE e-learning course into their internal training packages.
