Multi-country Study on Main Risks and Capacities
to Respond to Risks in EU Neighborhood & IPA Beneficiaries
Overall objectives

The study will help define priorities for future actions/programmes and partnerships in the targeted regions and support overall external strategy of the Union Civil Protection Mechanism.
Specific objectives
To produce in-depth, country-specific risk management analysis covering all phases of disaster risk management and disaster risk reduction (identifying and mapping main risks, mapping of response capacities and identifying capacities gaps) in the area of civil protection with a cross-sectoral cooperation component, including detailed analysis of similar initiatives.
