The Méndez Asia-Pacific Centre for Investigative Interviewing (MAPCII) is a collaborative regional hub advancing ethical, evidence-based investigative interviewing aligned with the Méndez Principles across the Asia-Pacific region.

We aim to achieve this via the following key activities:

1. Training & Capacity Building
2. Interdisciplinary Research
3. Policy Advocacy
4. Regional Collaboration
5. Community Engagement

Currently we have interdisciplinary members from 6 countries (Australia, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines & Taiwan) and we are aiming to expand the network further.

The centre will be launched at the end of April 2026, please check our website for further updates.
