AVAILABILITY FOR DEPLOYMENT

 

Once confirmed the candidates’ selection, we will require a written commitment from both the participants and their line manager to guarantee that the selected participant will be available for deployment within the next 24 months. This is required to ensure that we can continue to build an effective available roster and able to respond immediately to crisis and disasters.

The cost of the training in Nepal (accommodation, meals, transportation, training materials and others) will be cover with the training fees (1.500 CHF) to be paid by participants and/or the National Society directly to the IFRC thought the Bank Transfer.
