C4DT Executive Training: Foundations of Information and Communication Technologies

This 5-days executive course is intended for professionals—decision makers, advisers, lawyers—in organizations, particularly humanitarian organizations, which, like ICRC, see information and communication technologies (ICT) as an opportunity to better engage with beneficiaries and clients. They are confronted with new challenges that arise from their use of ICT, and from its use by other actors. Cybersecurity, digital privacy, and data protection, governed by increasingly stringent rules, are becoming core concerns of professionals in the humanitarian sector and beyond.
As a professional, you will be expected to interpret, develop, integrate, or evaluate actions with digital aspects. To do so, you must be able to take responsibilities in digital innovation, not only mediate between IT staff. The course is designed to give you the fundamental knowledge of information and communication technologies that you will need to take up this task and to engage more meaningfully with technical experts.

This course session will take place ICRC Headquarters in Geneva.
