The United Nations, the Republic of the Philippines through the Department of National Defense and the United States of America through the Center of Excellence in Disaster Management and Humanitarian Assistance (COE) on behalf of the United States Pacific Command (US PACOM) conducted the International Peacekeeping Operations Seminar on End States and Exit Strategies in Complex Contingencies on September 22 - 26 2003 at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Makati City.

The Emergency Management Institute of the Philippines (EMIP) of the National Defense College of the Philippines (NDCP) was tasked to provide the requirements inherent to the opening and closing ceremonies of the seminar as well as to provide support to the COE secretariat on the documentation and analysis requirements. The findings of the EMIP have been used exclusively for the creation of this After Action Report, with only minor formatting changes.
