Dear IPEC Federation members and friends,
welcome to the third and final edition of IPEC Federation Connect for 2025.

In this edition, we share updates on the latest publications, insights from recent events and workshops, and news from the regional IPECs. We hope you enjoy the read. Please feel free to share this bulletin widely, and as always, we welcome your feedback and suggestions at info@ipec-federation.org.

On behalf of the IPEC Federation Board, we share a ‘thank you’ to all the key contributors who dedicate their time, expertise, and commitment to developing and contributing to IPEC guidelines and documents. The revision and updating of our guidelines and documents would not be possible without the time and commitment of our volunteers.

Season’s Greetings and Happy New Year!

IPEC Federation Secretariat
