Second
Sub-regional Exercise Management
Training Workshop
15-19 December 2008
Phnom Penh, Cambodia
The Second Sub-regional
Exercise Management Training Workshop is
being organized by the Ministry of
Public Health, Thailand, Ministry of
Health Cambodia and Asian Disaster
Preparedness Center with the support
from the ASEAN+3 Emerging Infectious
Disease Programme (EID) and the

Programme (AusAID)
Overview
and Purpose of the Training Programme
Exercises have taken place in ASEAN
Plus Three countries at national,
sub national, community, cross border
and regional level to develop and
test plans in response to communicable
disease emergencies including avian
influenza in poultry and humans, and the
threat of pandemic influenza. In the
ASEAN+3 countries, there is limited
experience in developing, conducting and
evaluating effective exercises among
human and animal health sectors, and
limited guidance or training available
to those responsible in exercise
management thus the need to develop such
capacity to contribute to the
preparedness of ASEAN+3 countries to
face such risks.
The Exercise
Management Training Programme is a
project initiated by the Ministry of
Public Health, Thailand and the Asian
Disaster Preparedness Center, in
collaboration with the Ministries of
Health and Ministries of
Agriculture in ASEAN+3 countries.
The Asian Disaster Preparedness Center,
based in Thailand, has been identified
as an implementing partner to
organize and conduct this program,
given their experience in conducting
health emergency management capacity
building activities, including exercise
management training.
Objective
The primary objective of the training
programme is to build the capacity of
the people responsible for exercise
management for preparedness, prevention
and control of emerging infectious
diseases in Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar,
Thailand and Vietnam.
