The Bahrain Red Crescent Society (BRCS) coordinated a capacity-building programme for humanitarian work presented by Huda Al Khawaja, Consultant for the Society for Capacity Building and Development.

The programme overed several key areas, with the primary aim of enhancing the efficiency and productivity of volunteers in delivering humanitarian services. One of the programme’s core focuses was to bolster the capabilities of voluntary committee leaders within the Society, encouraging their continued participation and effective leadership in national, local, and international humanitarian operations, aligning with the Society’s objectives.

Additionally, the programme placed significant emphasis on training volunteers in essential domains such as planning, organisation, time management, communication, and problem-solving.

Moreover, it addressed the technical and practical aspects related to healthcare, effective response, and the cultivation of communication and social skills. The overarching goal was to empower volunteers to engage in a professional manner with beneficiaries and fellow humanitarian workers.

The programme has been designed to cater to volunteers of all backgrounds and proficiency levels, whether they are novices or experienced individuals engaged in humanitarian work within the Society’s committees.
