The document summarizes the institutionalization of PEER (Preparedness and Emergency Response) training within the Fire Service and Civil Defense (FSCD) of Bangladesh over the past two decades. It outlines key milestones such as integrating PEER lessons into FSCD courses in 2008 and accrediting courses through the Bangladesh Technical Education Board. Over 2,000 students have graduated from these courses and 250 instructors have been trained. PEER training has helped strengthen FSCD's emergency response capacity. While progress has been made, full institutionalization remains a work in progress, with challenges such as engaging different government stakeholders and securing dedicated resources.
