UNHCR and WFP have launched a Joint Training Programme on the UNHCR-WFP Joint Guidance for Targeting of Assistance to Meet Basic Needs in refugee settings, facilitated by the UNHCR-WFP Joint Programme Excellence and Targeting Hub. It is available to all staff in UNHCR and WFP from the links below.

The training is divided into two parts as per below. For colleagues wishing to understand only the basics around targeting, the completion of the Fundamentals of UNHCR-WFP Joint Targeting alone is sufficient. For colleagues wishing to be able to actively engage in the targeting process, the course Applying the UNHCR-WFP Joint Targeting Guidance provides a comprehensive overview.

Upon completion of the Fundamentals of UNHCR-WFP Joint Targeting, colleagues can sign up for the second course Applying the UNHCR-WFP Joint Targeting Guidance: A series of two-hour online workshops, run on a weekly basis for eight weeks, and conducted virtually using Microsoft Teams. For the first cohort a maximum of 75 participants will be accepted.
