ASEAN Emergency Operations Centre Capacity Building - Phase II

This project aims to further strengthen the capacity of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations’ (ASEAN) Emergency Operation Centre (EOC) Network to detect respond to and recover from major health-security events including deliberate biological incidents. Project activities include : (1) developing a three course modules that include both self-paced and instructor guided courses on the principles of public health emergency response; and (2) providing a training certification program for instructors of the course modules.

The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) increased knowledge of public health emergency response best practices among ASEAN member states; (2) increased awareness by ASEAN member states of the mandate of the Emergency Operation Centre (EOC) to deliver training that incorporates regional particularities and addresses regional-specific knowledge gaps; and (3) strengthened response of the EOC to health-security emergencies and biological disasters (including deliberate events) in ASEAN member states.
