The global crisis, experienced in recent weeks, due to the coronavirus pandemic (Covid-19) has put small and medium organizations (SMO)s under significant stress.

As they adapt and take control of the current situation, they must use different crisis management tools to limit the consequences of their international activities and on their community members. In some cases, SMOs have realized that their current crisis management structure may be deficient, leading organizations to improvise and its actors to exhaust themselves.

While the pandemic is still present and SMOs must continue to reconcile the impact of the virus on their programming, it is with this in mind that Spur offers this training in collaboration with Aleas to better equip Canadian SMOs in the international cooperation and development sector with risk management and contingency plans development.
