The ability to effectively negotiate in stressful circumstances is a skill which is essential to every humanitarian worker: from the field-based aid worker negotiating access on the frontline to the manager in headquarters talking to donors and governments.
The Clingendael humanitarian negotiation training aims to enhance the negotiating capacity of humanitarian workers.
Training approach
Since 2017, Clingendael Academy has trained over 1000 humanitarian workers of 50+ (I)NGOs and UN agencies in essential negotiation skills.
Our training introduces negotiation theory to help you in your daily humanitarian work. Through specially designed simulations and role plays, you can immediately apply the new acquired tools and insights. This three day training is very interactive and provides space for learning from your own and each other’s experience.
