The EP&R Learning Academy is a five-day peer-learning and technical exchange platform designed to strengthen national capacities for emergency preparedness and response. The event features Japanese experts together with government representatives from civil protection and disaster management agencies, line ministries, and ministries of finance from 16 World Bank member countries who are preparing or implementing EP&R operations.
It focuses on sharing Japan’s extensive expertise while supporting participating countries in assessing their current systems, identifying gaps and ways to strengthen capacities and improving policy frameworks to create an enabling environment. By the end of the week, the participants will develop practical action plans that will be implemented and monitored at regular intervals after the training. The agenda progresses from global perspectives and foundational preparedness assessments toward increasingly practical and context-specific learning, combining interactive sessions, simulation exercises, and field observations throughout.
This event is by invitation only.
