The second series is a continuation of the fire capacity building workshop that was held on 8th April 2021. In collaboration with the Philippines non-stake actors, we took a deep dive on recommendations to reduce fire occurences. This session will continue the discussion by outlining the current situations faced by stakeholders and higlighting the data approach that is practiced across the region.

This event will be running accordingly with the timezone GMT +8 (Malaysia, the Philippines). Kindly register via Eventbrite in the link here
