CAPACITY BUILDING SPECIALIST (PUBLIC HEALTH) – PHILIPPINESThe Asian Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC) seeks to strengthen its regional programming and technical capacity for public health emergency preparedness and response across the Asia-Pacific region. Building on its experience in disaster preparedness, emergency response, regional cooperation, and multi-country program implementation, ADPC aims to strengthen its support to countries and communities in preparing for and responding to emerging and re-emerging infectious disease outbreaks and other public health emergencies. Effective public health emergency preparedness and response require timely and coordinated action, supported by strong technical and operational capacities, effective coordination mechanisms, and capable national and local response actors. Through partnerships with governments, regional institutions, UN agencies, civil society organizations, academic and research institutions, and technical networks, ADPC promotes nationally and locally led approaches that strengthen preparedness, response, and recovery capacities. Within this broader commitment, ADPC is a consortium partner in the Local Engagement and Response Network (LEARN): Strengthening Localized Multi-Sectoral Readiness and Response to Infectious Disease Outbreaks in Humanitarian Settings, led by International Medical Corps (IMC).

In the Philippines, ADPC will work closely with the IMC Philippines Country Team to provide technical support for capacity-strengthening activities, including contextualization of LEARN materials, training facilitation, organizational capacity strengthening, remote coaching and technical assistance to participating L/NNGOs.
