Boosting synergies for humanitarian action and civil protection in crisis response
Aquarium
This session will showcase concrete examples of successful cooperation and synergies between humanitarian action (HA) and civil protection (CP) and discuss how these examples can be replicated in other contexts. The session will debate the current level of integration of HA and CP actions and highlight the tools that are available to create synergies at EU-level (e.g. HA funding, EHRC, UCPM, rescEU, and ERCC). Finally, the session will analyse how other actors, such as member states and regional disaster management organizations, manage and contribute to the interactions between the HA and CP, and showcase what the benefits to these interactions are, seen from the perspective of humanitarian partners.
