Sphere India Training and Capacity building Programme (TCBP):  Sphere India conceptualised training and capacity building programme to cater to these immediate emerging needs by planning trainings on themes as below in pilot states of Assam, Orissa, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal:

• Need Assessment in Emergencies (NAE)

• Project Cycle Management (PCM) and

• Logistics and Supply Chain Management (LSCM)

The key objectives of the TCBP programme are to:

• Develop capacities in the piloted states of Assam, Bihar, Orissa, West Bengal and Uttar Pradesh by institutionalising training & capacity building cells in their respective IAGs

• Develop a resource pool of trainers at state level in each IAG

• Decentralise training & capacity building activities to IAGs at state levels

• Develop training manuals for trainings in identified immediate needs and contextualise the manuals for respective state IAG

Beyond planning trainings on immediate needs, the TCBP plans to carry out a comprehensive ‘training needs assessment’ to develop a comprehensive training curriculum framework for different stages of disaster cycle. Subsequently training modules on topics identified under the curriculum will be designed in consultation with the TCBP sub-committee.
