The overall objective of the project is to reduce the vulnerability of the Beneficiaries to natural and man-made disasters at local, national and regional levels.
The purposes are as follows:
- Purpose 1: contributing to the development of the beneficiaries’ civil protection capacities
civil protection organisations of the beneficiaries shall become aware and able to advise on and, where possible, implement the best EU practices on inter alia monitoring and early warning systems (EWS), host-nation support (HNS), '112' centres and lessons learned programmes; they shall be able to apply for and access funds available through national IPA programmes; and
- Purpose 2: bringing the beneficiaries closer to the Community Civil Protection Mechanism
civil protection organisations of the beneficiaries shall become better informed and more effective actors in using approaches and methods established in the Mechanism Participating States; they shall be able to effectively collaborate with the EU partners in responding to disasters, including through close cooperation with the EU/MIC (Monitoring and Information Centre); the ultimate goal of this cooperation shall be the gradual and full integration of the beneficiaries in the Mechanism once the conditions are met.
