February news

2023-03-03 kl. 13:31
In the beginning of February, we were all deeply affected by the devastating earthquake in Turkiye and Syria. The EU Civil Protection Mechanism UCPM was activated and we were proud to see many of our team members deployed as well as all PPRD East 3 participating states Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine deploying teams. This terrible disaster was a firm reminder how important our job in civil protection is and how working together save lives. From a programme perspective, we have continued to conduct several training of trainers, workshops as well as hosting our third Steering Committee Meeting and the mid-term planning conference for the Full Scale exercise.

December updates

Happy new year! In December, the PPRD East team wrapped up 2022 with several programme activities. Among them, the first planning Conference for one of 2023's biggest events, the Full Scale Exercise in Georgia in June.

Season's greetings

2022-12-20 kl. 14:19
Another year has come to an end and the PPRD East 3 team would like to take the opportunity to thank all partners for an eventful and successful year of implementation. The decline of the global COVID-19 pandemic has enabled us to finally meet in person again, a much awaited development, which has reinforced the partnership building within the programme with a more personal touch. It has been wonderful to see the engagement from all participants taken part in different trainings and workshops throughout the year, and it has been particularly heartening to see our friends from Ukraine taking part in some of the activities as well.

In this video, PPRD East 3 Team Leader Peter Glerum is explaining the overall programme objectives. We have chosen to focus on forest fire risks as it is a prominent risk in all partner countries. We focus on supporting the change from a response based approach to disaster management in an early warning, early action based multi-stakeholder approach. Integration of gender, human rights and environmental perspectives is key in the programme implementation.

 

We are testing the capacities of civil protection systems, learning from the past and preparing for future events.

Practical Guidelines for integrating gender, human rights and environmental issues in Disaster Risk Management

Practical Guidelines for integrating gender, human rights and environmental issues in Disaster Risk Management

The Guidelines build upon global standards and best practices and present practical advice on how to integrate gender, human rights and environment into nine thematic areas of the programme. Examples of thematic areas include, training and exercises, Multi-Risk Assessments, Early Warning Systems, Public awareness, volunteerism and Host Nation Support. The document has been produced in collaboration with the PPRD East 3 programme experts and partner countries’ organisations to enhance the quality and relevance of the guidance. The Guidelines was produced as an interactive online resource and is available in English and Russian.
