There is an urgent need to increase capacities of local government staff to strengthen disaster risk management capabilities in the context of Albania joining the EU Civil Protection Mechanism (UCPM). In this context the purpose of this project is to support civil protection structures at county and municipal level to improve and strengthen their capacities in terms of anticipating hazards, risk assessment, prevention, and planning.
Disaster is a local event; therefore, the overall aim is to consolidate the frontline actors for a better preparedness process. To achieve this aim, the project will support 11 counties/prefectures and their respective municipalities (61) in increasing capacities for disaster risk assessments and other related procedures to establish an advanced local framework of disaster risk management – while also increasing capacities of financial preparedness to improve planning of municipal budgets and prevention capacities.
Finally, the project will increase the knowledge and awareness of the role and importance of the municipalities in this process.
