Project:  Integrated Operations Center for Providing Humanitarian Assistance

Description: The overall objective of the project is to improve the strategic and operational efficiency of public administration and public services in managing natural disasters within the wider cross-border area (CBA), through the provision of an integrated solution for the technical support and management of post-disaster humanitarian “on-site” relief operations and logistics.The proposed containers cluster along with the associated crisis management plan will provide the necessary technical infrastructure and equipment and the appropriate implementation platform so as to hedge the wider CBA against NDRH, in terms of enhancing pre-disaster preparedness, mitigating the corresponding post-disaster impacts in the aftermath of a disaster, and increasing the managerial effectiveness and efficiency. Furthermore, the project aims to broaden the overall regional and national capacity of providing humanitarian relief, on the basis ofthe common challenges that have to be tackled.
