Background

Although armed conflicts have been prevalent the world over, the African Continent is particularly faced with many of such conflicts.  These conflicts have negatively affected the continent in several ways.    The eruption of conflicts has most invariably led to the establishment of mission to restore normalcy. Mission environments are mostly different from the regular work environments to which people are mostly accustomed.  Mission environments are typically not very conducive in terms of general conditions of living, culture, weather, food, language; just to name a few.  These conditions require that people who are deployed in such areas must learn survival skills before or during the period of their deployment.  The HEAT course therefore aimed at providing the requisite knowledge and skills needed to work and survive in crises areas.

Course Aim

This course aims at equipping participants with knowledge of the various dangers in hostile environments and equip and or enhance their skills/capacities to live and cope in such environments.
