THE SPECIFICS: Displaced persons in civil conflict

The following guide is designed as an aid to the presentation of the module on Displaced Persons in Civil Conflict. Although the overheads provided and the cues to the presentation are a complete set, they are really only a starting point for your presentation.

If your available time is less than 3 hours for the full presentation, you will have to decide which points to cover and which to delete. If your personal experience has given you additional insights or illustrations of the points presented, integrate them into your presentation. You may want to add or delete overheads to the presentation.

Similarly, you must know your audience and their needs in order to make the presentation pertinent to the group. If the information is available early enough, you can alter the material to suit the particular needs of the trainees. Remember, the guide is for a “generic” presentation on this topic;

Your input can help “bring the information home” to the participants.

Materials you will need

All of the usual items required for these presentations are listed under the first part of this guide: “The Basics.” Some additional items particular to this module include:

Copies of other illustrative documents to which you may have access

Copies of the module, “An Overview of Disaster Management”
