What this is
Agora covers child protection, health, nutrition, education and PSEA. Some courses are short and others are full programmes, each with a certificate.
What makes the platform valuable is the name: in child protection, UNICEF training is the baseline requirement organisations set for their own staff.
Who it is for
People working in child protection, education or the social sector.
