ECB Resources & Learning space

If you were not able to participate in one of these events, you will still be able to access all the materials and learning summaries via our Resources and Learning section. The workshop materials, learning outputs, tools and resources shared, participant feedback, and short video interviews from each event will be made available soon.

Our new enhanced ECB Resources & Learning website space provides the humanitarian sector with access to new ECB inter-active resources, as well as online versions our ECB Project resources such as the Simulations Guide.

Wahyu Widayanto, ECB Field Facilitator for ECB Indonesia Consortia, comments:

"The ECBinter-active learning conferences generated a huge amount of new learning, collaboration and ideas for participants to develop in the area of humanitarian capacity building”.

ECBinter-active conference series

November 2011 – February 2012 saw the first ever series of ECBinter-active regional events, in which for the first time, we shared our program and practical learning on humanitarian capacity building with the wider humanitarian sector.

Each two day event gathered humanitarian professionals from multiple countries and backgrounds, including:

  • National and regional government representatives
  • United Nations institutions
  • Donors
  • National and international NGOs
  • Inter-governmental agencies
  • Humanitarian networks and specialists

As well as networking and exploring ideas for future collaboration, participants shared their experiences of collaboration and humanitarian staff capacity building. The ECB Project teams shared their innovative approaches to developing successful multi-stakeholder collaboration and joint activities allowing participants to:

  • Consider the key benefits and challenges of collaboration
  • Understand how ECB Project teams developed a consortium approach
  • Examine the possibilities of replicating and adapting initiatives in their country and region
  • Learn about ECB Project tools, resources and reports

Learning and discussion opportunities focused on three core themes:

  • National Staff Capacity Building
  • Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR)
  • Accountability to beneficiaries

Workshop and plenary sessions were based on humanitarian program learning from these ECB themes, with a focus on sharing learning, in a lively context. Each inter-active session shared joint methodologies and tried and tested ECB tools. This event presented opportunities to discuss how these might be applied and adapted to participants work. Examples include:

  • Multi-agency simulation tools and learning
  • Highlights from our work on two new staff development programs, focusing on management / leadership training and core humanitarian skills respectively.
  • Experiences of implementing joint advocacy / joint fundraising strategies
  • Creating and implementing inter-agency accountability training (focused on beneficiaries)
  • Details of DRR capacity mapping / DRR mainstreaming activities
  • Practical approaches and learning from our joint needs assessments (JNA) / joint evaluations following recent disasters.
