Humanitarian Assistance Diploma & Certificate Programmes at Wits P&DM

Applications are now open for the Diploma in Humanitarian Assistance Africa 2012!
 
The programme comprises two Certificates in Humanitarian Policy and Practice, with an option to take the examination of the Diploma in Humanitarian Assistance.
 
The certificates are intensive training programmes run by Wits University’s Graduate School of Public & Development Management, in collaboration with Medecins Sans Frontieres/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) and the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine.
