The IPC Level 2 Training was held in Burundi from 3 to 7 March 2013 to train IPC Analysts from French-speaking countries and therefore establishing a pool of qualified IPC Level 2 French speaking trainers in different countries in Eastern and Central Africa. Altogether four African countries were included with 4-5 participants for each: Burundi, Central African Republic, Djibouti, Democratic Republic of Congo. Participants from Haiti were also involved in the training and benefited from the IPC Cross-country Learning Exchange initiative.

This Level 2 Training covering the Eastern and Central Africa and Haiti was the first French-speaking Level 2 training conducted with material specifically developed for the purpose. Before this training, three trainings in English had already taken place, in Kenya, in South Africa, and in Thailand. A fifth training, this time in Spanish, will be conducted in April in Central America.

The feedback received from the three trainings in English was used to improve the training materials before they were translated. The workshop was well attended and the participants liked the content of the training, both practicing the presentations of the Level 1 training, and the key issues discussed in the second part of the training. They also valued the exchange of experiences between the countries.
