The course Health in complex humanitarian emergencies addresses different aspects of the recovery aspects of disaster-affected communities. By enrolling myself in this course I learned how disaster recovery and response activities are coordinated and evaluated. I highly recommend this course to humanitarian aid workers and other non-humanitarian individuals to take it because we are not certain when disaster will happen and our generous help will be needed to assist the response activity at any time.
