leadership development and humanitarian training programmes with increasing inter-agency involvement. Over 4,000 people from 70 nationalities from 41 agencies through 35 programmes in 20 countries from 2005 to date
- Investor: spent at least £6 million of Save the Children core funds on
capacity building since 2005
