If you are a manager, supervisor, or commander, you will need to complete additional learning programmes, two of which replace courses for all personnel.

About this training
This course replaced "Prevention of Sexual Harassment and Abuse by UN Personnel - Working Harmoniously" effective August 2022. Certificates from "Working Harmoniously" do not meet the requirements to have completed this programme.
This programme is available in two versions: a foundational version for all personnel and a version for managers that includes an additional module. Staff only need to complete one version to fulfill mandatory learning requirements.
