Project 068 (IfS): Support to training for the CBRN Centres of Excellence (CoE) partner countries

Context

Since its launch in 2010, the CBRN CoE has been pursuing a twofold objective: strengthening Partner Countries capabilities in the field of CBRN Risk mitigation, while fostering cooperation on a regional and inter-regional level. Driven by its bottom-up approach, which allow Partners to identify their gaps, jointly discuss priorities and advance project proposals in order to receive EU funding, the Initiative has quickly established itself as a successful model of EU external action. The Initiative is now mature and ready to address challenges linked to the ever-evolving global security environment. In this context, the importance of States' preparedness and ability to prevent, manage and respond to events involving CBRN agents (being their origin natural, accidental or criminal) as well as to ensure the protection of its citizens is paramount.  

In this sense, several training modules in connection with the needs and priorities to train the trainers for holistic CBRN risk mitigation will be organised.
