  IOM held a five-day training of trainers (ToT) to strengthen the capacity of Egyptian general managers of crisis management departments of the Ministry of Local Development. It took place in Aswan, with a total of 22 participants representing 8 governorates.

According to a statement released by IOM, the ToT partakers strengthened their knowledge on key topics relevant to irregular migration, protection, crises and emergency settings, communication, and coordination to provide humanitarian assistance as well as the legal framework and national strategies.

“The ToT aims at strengthening the capacity of general managers in anticipating and preparing for crises and the consequent movement of people, providing participants with hands-on knowledge regarding migrant-inclusive and coordinated response approaches and risks vulnerable migrants are exposed to,” the statement explained.

The ToT aims also at preparing the participants with the skills required to disseminate the knowledge gained during the training to relevant actors, the statement noted.
