EC aid to improve disaster protection in S Caucasus states
The European Commission has allocated 2 million
euros to the South Caucasus republics – Azerbaijan, Georgia and
Armenia – to assist in alleviating the impact of natural
calamities, according to the EC.
The funding, which aims to improve preparedness and cope with such disasters as landslides, floods and earthquakes, will strengthen the potential of local and government agencies.
The funds will be provided through the EC’s humanitarian aid department. The aid projects will be implemented by special UN agencies and non-governmental organizations like the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).*
