The IPC Regional Level 2 Training in Asia was successfully conducted from 19 to 22 November 2013 at FAO Regional Office in Bangkok. This training was led by the IPC Regional Coordinator for Asia with support from the WFP Regional VAM Unit.

Participants are already certified Level 1 IPC Analyst and therefore completed all the necessary criteria to be eligible for starting the IPC Level 2 process to become IPC Trainers and Facilitators. Moreover, they were selected from the national technical working groups which is a crucial factor to ensure that in Asia IPC is institutionalized within national frameworks and is instrumental in aiding policy formulation.

In total, 18 analysts from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan and Philippines as well as representatives from national governments, international and national NGOs and national universities underwent Level 2 Training and completed the first step to be certified as IPC Trainer and Facilitator.
