CHEMEX Africa combined a broad range of theoretical knowledge with practical experience. It is designed to expand national capacity in assistance and protection, one of the key provisions of the Chemical Weapons Convention. First responders and instructors from over 30 African countries participated in CHEMEX Africa in Algiers, Algeria from 23 September to 5 October 2023. This intensive training programme is the largest of its kind to date and was conducted in close cooperation with the Algerian authorities, with financial support from the government of Canada. Additional instructors from the Czech Republic and the United Kingdom supported the exercise, and the European Union, United Kingdom and United States sent observers.
The objective of the exercise was to enhance capacities in African countries to respond to chemical emergencies, including incidents and attacks perpetrated by terrorists. CHEMEX instructors were trained through the OPCW Africa Programme and will train the next generation of African first responders.
Experts trained during CHEMEX come from across Africa and include civilian and military first responders in civil defence fire and rescue services, police, military, hazardous materials teams, and medical professionals. Participants will demonstrate their new skills acquired during CHEMEX in a chemical emergency response simulation at the end of the training.
