ABOUT

OUR GOAL: TRAINING

ADPC has three primary goals it achieves through trainings:

1
To help build and strengthen capacity of government agencies, organizations and communities to reduce the impact of disasters
2
To facilitate and promote partnerships and networks among training institutes and academia and to enable experience sharing and lessons learned
3
To maintain recognition as a proactive and responsive regional resource center for training services

Since 1986, ADPC has been recognized as a leader in training in topics related to disaster risk reduction and management in Asia-Pacific. Today, it is a well-known regional resource center for capacity building of national governments, intergovernmental organizations, UN agencies, International Non-Governmental Organizations, local Non-Governmental Organizations and Community-Based Organizations.

ADPC through its multi-disciplinary approach has been designing training curricula and conducting training courses in a wide range of disaster management disciplines. To meet new needs and challenges posed by disasters, ADPC has been paving the way in developing training courses in emerging and topical disaster risk reduction areas. It has been ADPC’s ongoing and continued endeavor in the course improvement process that has led to reviews and changes in topics and structures of many training courses.
