Training Packages
The overall objective of ReDSS policy dialogue pillar is to facilitate and undertake constructive and influential policy dialogue at local, national and regional levels.
Policy dialogue is one of the four 2021-2023 ReDSS strategic pillars in support of ReDSS overall goal of improved durable solutions policies and programming that increases the potential of displacement-affected communities to integrate sustainably and to live safe, dignified and productive lives in East and Horn of Africa.
ReDSS Training Packages
To evaluate its learning and knowledge management strategy, ReDSS applies the Kirk Patrick’s model which is a worldwide standard for evaluating the effectiveness of training and learning approaches.
Durable solutions basic technical training
In 2016, ReDSS develop a basic durable solution training package for practitioners and policy-makers in order to strengthen their knowledge and skills in terms of process and content on how to address durable solutions for displacement affected communities. The training content was developed under the guidance of a Steering Committee made up of IGAD, the World Bank regional office (for HOA), UNHCR and other regional, humanitarian and development donors, including DRC, IRC, NRC, Save the Children, Refugee Consortium Kenya and Inter-Aid Uganda. The training package has been rolled out in different countries and contexts in the region. The training package is organized around 7 independent modules, each with ‘how’ to guides and facilitators notes providing flexibility to adapt and contextualize to the specific needs and contexts.

Area based approaches training
ReDSS has designed a face-to-face training curriculum on area-based planning to strengthen the capacity of actors involved in durable solutions in the East and Horn of Africa region. The main goal of the training is for practitioners and policy makers to be better equipped to lead and take part in area-based solutions planning for Displacement Affected Communities. The training was first piloted in Jigjiga, capital of the Somali Regional State in Ethiopia in March 2020 and will be further rolled out in Ethiopia, at the Woreda, regional, and federal levels, as well as in other countries in the region where ReDSS is active to support area-based solutions planning at local levels.
The main learning objectives are for training workshop participants to be able to:
- Explain the added value of area-based approaches to plan for durable solutions and enhance social cohesion in displacement contexts.
- Apply area-based approach elements and principles and link them to the durable solutions planning cycle.
- Explain how to lead and/or take part in context specific, inclusive and government-led durable area-based solutions processes, meaningfully involving a wide range of actors.
Throughout the curriculum specific emphasis is put on:
- Social cohesion
- Community engagement
- Government engagement
The main goal of this curriculum is for practitioners and policy makers to be better equipped to lead and take part in area-based solutions planning for Displacement Affected Communities.
