Consultancy : Managing Teams Course under AHA Centre Executive (ACE) Programme Batch 7
Reporting to : ACE & DELSA Programme Coordinator
Duration : 1 March – 30 May 2021
Background
The AHA Centre Executive (ACE) Programme is an intensive five-month training to prepare future leaders in disaster management as part of the ASEAN's ambition to build a disaster-resilient region. Since it was launched in 2014, 97 officers (35 females and 62 males) from ten ASEAN Member States have been under intense training of acclaimed trainers in relation to disaster management. Upon graduation, these officers are expected to enhance their technical knowledge, master procedures for coordinated and timely response, manage logistics planning for emergency response, and form lasting bond among fellow disaster management professionals in the region.
The continuation of the ACE Programme has been possible through the support from partners. The Government of Japan through the Japan-ASEAN Integration Fund (JAIF) provides the main funding for the programme from 2018 to 2020. In addition, the programme has also received support from the New Zealand Government, United States Government, the UN partners (UNOCHA, WFP, UNHRD, UNDP, UN Women, UN-FPA, UNICEF, IOM), Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, U.S. Forest Service, and academic institutions, such as Asia Pacific Centre for Security Studies and University of Canterbury. The seventh batch of ACE Programme will be conducted from February to July 2021 at the AHA Centre Office in Jakarta, Indonesia, with visits to several countries including Japan, New Zealand, and other ASEAN Member States, in order to expose participants to different disaster management strategies and country contexts. Up to 25 National Disaster Management Officers from the ASEAN Member States will join the full 1000 hours training in over a period of five months.
The ACE Programme Framework
The ACE Programme framework recognises success to be measured at several stages. It defines changes expected to occur after each course/session (Learning Objectives), at the end of a module (Change in Capacity) and contribute to enhance the four aspects of ACE Core Competencies. The training development continuum design requires the participants' capabilities for ongoing learning in order to attain the ACE Programme professional qualities. In the end, the ACE programme will contribute to the goal of developing the future ASEAN leaders and have impact on the operationalisation of One ASEAN One Response while also reflecting on how they as leaders can contribute to the strengthening of the national or local disaster preparedness and response systems.
The framework presents how, through the 23 courses, the ACE Programme contributes to their professional development in disaster management—through the changes in their capacity (at the end of each module). There will be several courses delivered under each module. Together, these modules are expected to improve their competencies (knowledge, behaviour and practice) and eventually, their Professional Qualities.
