Managing risks and opportunities at UNHCR

This self-paced, 7-modules online course is an introduction to risk management at UNHCR.

 Managing our risks and opportunities proactively is crucial to maintaining the integrity and efficiency of our operations, as well as upholding the trust placed in us by those we protect. As everyone in UNHCR is responsible and accountable for managing risks, the course was designed and developed for all personnel at any level, function and location, as well as for external partners.

 In this course you will learn how to assess, treat, monitor, report and communicate risks and opportunities. A detailed fictional scenario spanning the entire risk management process will guide you through your learning journey with short and engaging modules.

 The course was developed by the Enterprise Risk Management Service (ERM) within the framework of the ERM 2025 strategy. This course is also available in French and Spanish.

Investigating Allegations of Sexual Exploitation and Abuse

UNHCR has developed this e-learning course to help partners enhance their skills in investigating allegations of sexual exploitation and abuse against beneficiaries of humanitarian assistance. The e-learning course is one of the deliverables of the UN High Commissioner for Refugee´s IASC Championship on Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse and Sexual Harassment (September 2019 – December 2020), and closely aligns with his commitment to support partners and working jointly to enhance capacity and accountability. UNHCR initiated this project as a response to specific requests from its partners to support the strengthening of their capacity to conduct high quality investigations of allegations of sexual exploitation and abuse. It is based on commonly used principles and standards for administrative investigations within the UN system, as well as UNHCR´s training programme on investigation for partners. Some aspects of the process may have to be modified to reflect a specific organization´s internal policies and procedures, as well as local laws and regulations.
This course is  available in English, Arabic, French, and Spanish.
