The FINANCIAL — Two experts from the EU-funded Programme on Prevention, Preparedness and Response to Natural and Man-made Disasters in the Eastern Partnership Countries (PPRD East 2) will participate in the inaugural meeting of the Azerbaijani Host Nation Support (HNS) working group.
The meeting will serve to support efforts at national level and to ensure that the development of the Azerbaijani HNS legislation is coherent with the existing EU HNS Guidelines and good practices.
One of the key elements of the PPRD East 2 Programme is the development and enhancement of HNS arrangements in its partner countries. Experience from recent disasters, including the forest fires in Georgia in 2017, demonstrated that arrangements pre-planned by disaster stricken countries for the reception and employment of incoming assistance contribute greatly to the efficiency of operations.
The PPRD East 2 programme is the EU-funded flagship initiative aiming to increase the disaster risk management capacities of the Eastern Partner countries (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine), thus improving the protection of their populations from the negative consequences of man-made threats and natural disasters.
