In fragile and conflict affected areas (FCAS) households, businesses and communities can react to crises in ways that adversely impact their ability to rebuild markets and undermine longer term well-being. In tandem, humanitarian response and economic recovery programs can unintentionally disrupt and distort market systems.
In light of these challenges, there is increasing interest from all actors to develop and innovate programs that build resilience in FCAS using market-based approaches. In order to serve communities in FCAS, it is crucial that practitioners, multi-lateral agencies, donors, governments and other stakeholders have access to training and resources that build skill sets and capacity for designing sustainable market systems.
The Resilient Markets Academy is designed to meet this need.
The Academy targets humanitarian and development practitioners and partners working in fragile and conflict-affected settings, including refugee contexts, specifically:
The Academy’s programme covers around 20 topics.
The Academy offers a dynamic learning experience and combines plenary sessions which are common for the entire group and specific elective courses that each participant chooses to attend according to their preferences and needs.
In plenaries, participants will explore common themes to market systems development, for example:
The International Labour Organization (ILO) is devoted to promoting social justice and internationally recognized human and labour rights, pursuing its founding mission that social justice is essential to universal and lasting peace.
The ILO brings together governments, employers and workers representatives of 187 member States, to set labour standards, develop policies and devise programmes promoting decent work for all women and men.
The International Training Centre is the training arm of the International Labour Organization. It runs training, learning and capacity development services for governments, employers’ organizations, workers’ organizations and other national and international partners in support of Decent Work and sustainable development.
