NOHA (academic organisation)

Network on Humanitarian Action (NOHA) is an international association of universities offering post-graduate level degree courses for humanitarian agencies and relief workers.^[1] The association was founded by five European universities in 1993; namely Aix-Marseille Université, University of Bochum, University of Deusto, Université catholique de Louvain and Oxford University. The NOHA Masters programme initiative was launched in 1993 under the auspices of the Erasmus-Socrates Programme with additional financial support from the Directorate-General for European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (ECHO).^[2] In 2015 the network had expanded to include twelve European and five global partner universities.^[3]
