Technical Assistance for Disaster Risk Management (Track 1)

These grants provide national civil protection and other disaster risk management authorities of eligible countries with financial support for developing strategic disaster risk management actions. They aim to prepare investments or strengthen the institutional and policy framework for disaster risk management. These grants will also provide an important contribution to support the implementation of the recently adopted EU disaster resilience goals.

Authorities in a Member State or participating state of the EU Civil Protection Mechanism (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Iceland, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Norway, Serbia, and Türkiye), or in 1 of the 4 countries aspiring to become participants in the Mechanism (Georgia, Kosovo, Republic of Moldova, and Ukraine) are eligible. Only national civil protection or other disaster risk management authorities in the eligible countries are eligible to apply.

Project proposals need to be submitted through the Funding & tender opportunities portal of the European Commission before 24 May 2023. Projects are expected to start in November or December 2023.
