The ASEAN-IPR WPS Training Programme (Module 3.5) was held on 10-12 February 2026. The programme brough together twenty-four (24) participants to foster integrated discussions and share real-world experiences in policy processes on how the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) and Youth, Peace and Security (YPS) agendas can be applied to address regional challenges.

Participants came from government institutions and civil society organizations (CSOs) from across the region, fostering inclusive and cross-sectoral discussions throughout the training. The Training aimed to bridge top-down and bottom-up approaches, emphasising shared advocacy and partnership between governments and civil society for mainstreaming women and youth priorities into peace and security policies in the region.
