The ASEF Public Health Network organised the ASEF-ASAP (Accurate Scenarios – Active Preparedness) scenarios launch on Monday 13 June in Bangkok.

This multimedia launch was a unique opportunity to present the objectives behind the scenario planning initiative by the Network. ASEF presented three scenarios in the form of audio-visual animated spots and a digital publication that encapsulate all information and knowledge resources pertaining to the ASEF scenario-building process. These resources can be used by interested individuals and organisations as tools for pandemic preparedness.

Hear an excerpt from the interview of Sol Iglesias, Director of Intellectual Exchange, ASEF with Radio Thailand News:

ABOUT THE SCENARIOS

ASEF-ASAP is one of a kind. Three scenarios were developed through a series of workshops in 2010. Every scenario tells a story in future about what MAY happen and not what WILL happen. Each story starts with a premise and develops a specific context for future. These scenarios do NOT foretell the future. How the future plays out will be different from what we imagined in a specific scenario. But when we take all three scenarios together, they cover the range of the possible.

THE ASEF SCENARIO-BUILDING PROCESS

All three scenarios are developed with the technical support from Prospex, through a participatory process involving a range of participants from health and non-health sectors, with a singular purpose – to develop strategies for pandemic preparedness.
