Wim Kok Center for Excellence and Learning
Training Programs
The Wim Kok Center for Excellence and Learning (CEL) was established in 2019 in response to the need to create a central structure at ICMP responsible for coordinating and maintaining all learning and development activities.
The CEL works to develop the capacity of government and civil society stakeholders in addressing the issue of missing persons by facilitating the transfer of knowledge and expertise. It streamlines instructional design principles, which promote a learner-centered approach to the design and development of training courses and other learning activities.
The CEL maintains a repository of ICMP’s training and peer-reviewed material that includes courses in:
Data collection and data systems
Rights of families of the missing
Outreach to families of the missing
Responsibilities of states
Forensic archaeology
Forensic anthropology
