WHO Simulation Exercise Manual available online

Simulation exercises have been identified as a key component in the validation of core capacities under the International Health Regulation monitoring and evaluation framework (2016), which was noted by the Sixty-ninth World Health Assembly. Simulation exercises, along with After Action Reviews (AAR), represent the functional assessment of capacities and complement the self-assessments (Annual Reporting), independent reviews, and external evaluations (Joint External Evaluation (JEE)). 

To support country's endeavor in building national exercise capability, WHO has published the “WHO Simulation Exercise Manual”. You can access the manual from the IHR Monitoring and Evaluation page:  http://www.who.int/ihr/procedures/implementation/en/
