The Livestock Emergency Guidelines and Standards (LEGS) are a set of international guidelines and standards for the design, implementation and assessment of livestock-based livelihood interventions to assist people affected by humanitarian crises. The LEGS handbook was first published in April 2009 with the second edition published in 2015, and a series of Training of Trainers (TOT) courses are being rolled out worldwide. The TOT trains participants to be able to deliver the 3-day LEGS training course. To date, the LEGS Project has run 22TOTs, training over 400 people.
Applications are now invited for a cost-share LEGS TOT in Johannesburg, South Africa. The TOT runs for 6 days, from 25th to 30th September 2017. Participants may apply for the first 3 days of the course (25-27 th September) if they are only interested in the LEGS training course rather than the training of trainers.
The application process for the fee-paying Training of Trainers course in Johannesburg from 25th– 30th September 2014 is now open.
Applications are invited from staff of NGOs, government agencies, international agencies and individual consultants, worldwide.
LEGS TOT graduates become LEGS Trainers and assist in the dissemination of the LEGS Training course. Applications from female candidates are particularly welcome. Applications for the first three days of the course (standard LEGS Training, from 25th to 27th September) only are also encouraged.
