Simulations paper presented today at ECBinter-active Niger
Published on 19 January 2012
Simulations: A Tool for Learning and Preparedness Emergency Response
A paper presented by Moctar Hamidou and Richard Jacquot of Mercy Corps at ECBinter-active Niger today, 19 January 2012.
This paper presents some of the reasoning behind the use of emergency simulations in the work of the ECB Project, and offers a helpful overview of the structuring of simulations and the advantages/problems associated with the use of simulations and the way in which they are run. It looks at:
- The advantages that simulations can offer with regards to the training of humanitarian professionals
- Four different models for simulations
- The challenges facing the adoption of simulations as a preparatory tool
- The importance of reflection and the final report
This paper is only available in French, however a new ECB Project Simulations Case Study in English, will be launched later in 2012.
La Simulation: Outil d’Apprentissage et de Préparation aux Réponses d’Urgence
“La Simulation: Outil d’Apprentissage et de Préparation aux Réponses d’Urgence” est un document présenté par Moctar Hamidou et Richard Jacquot à la conférence ECBinter-active au Niger, aujourd'hui, 19 Janvier 2012.
Ce document présente certains de motifs qui sous-tendent l’utilisation des simulations d’urgence dans le travail du projet ECB et offre un aperçu utile de la structuration des simulations d'urgence et des bénéfices/problèmes associés avec l'utilisation de simulations et la façon dans laquelles elles sont gérées. Il examine:
- Les avantages que les simulations peuvent offrir à l'égard de la formation des professionnels humanitaires
- Quatre modèles de simulations
- Les défis rencontrés pour l’adoption des simulations comme outil de préparation
- L’importance de la réflexion et du compte-rendu
Pour l'instant, ce document n'est disponible qu'en français ; cependant une nouvelle étude de cas au sujet de simulations d'urgence sera publiée cette année.
