MSc in Humanitarian program Management | Master's degree | Humanities & Culture | On Campus | 12 months + Applied Research Project | Grenoble Ecole de Management | France

The MSc in Humanitarian Program Management aims at training managers for the humanitarian and development sector (NGO, non-profit or charitable organisations, foundations, etc.). It leads to a variety of positions in the area of humanitarian operations, implying coordination and management. A Humanitarian Program can be defined as a set of activities planned and undertaken by an Aid organisation, directly or by mean of partnerships with other organisations, in a specific geographical area, over a specific timespan, in pursuit of specific objectives to address identified humanitarian needs. To undertake the activities (often organised in a set of related projects), human, material and financial resources are required, as is the analysis of the program’s environment and surrounding actors. Management in such contexts implies the use of organisational and methodological tools and techniques to assess, plan, organise, monitor and report on both the program’s activities and the optimal use of assigned material and financial resources. It also implies team support (through motivation and development) and the creation and maintenance of relationships and dynamics with a variety of stakeholders, to ensure the achievement of results in a challenging and changing environment.
