The training series honed in on work standards, including practices for health and wellness and awareness and initiatives for gender and development (GAD). The learning and development endeavors are meant to strengthen organizational systems, design, and structure, and functions and competencies, to prepare and enable the CHR not only for threats and challenges but also for standard and routine tasks.
