FAHAMU COURSES

Fahamu provides training, develops training materials and runs courses including by distance learning to strengthen the capacity of organizations and individuals. Since 2005, over 300 organisations have assigned staff to participate in Fahamu’s courses, including human rights organisations, churches, grassroots women’s organisations, development organisations, Kenyan police and prison officers, the Rwandan military, UN agencies, youth organisations and private sector organisations from 51 countries including Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia, South Africa, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
Our courses have been developed in collaboration with the University of Oxford, the United Nations office of the High Commission for Human Rights, UN-affiliated University for Peace and Article 19. Participants receive certificates from the University of Oxford and Fahamu on completion of the courses.
The courses are offered by distance learning (with training modules on CD ROM) but are also available (especially as group packages) as residential face-to-face courses on prior request. The courses are based on the provision of well-designed interactive training materials on CDROM with a tutor facilitating the course through email discussions. Once assignments are completed, participants are brought together in a face-to-face conventional workshop (this is optional and depends on the participants needs) and in the final phase undertake a practical project as part of transferring learning from the course to the work place.
