Increasing Preparedness Capacities across the Mediterranean 2 (IPCAM 2)

Area of activity/subject: cross border civil protection cooperation regarding interoperability and preparedness for, direct response to and reducing impacts of natural and man-made disasters

Summary of the project: Building upon the achievements of IPCAM 1 project (2015-2016), IPCAM 2 will further support actions undertaken by the Tunisian National Civil Protection Office to improve disaster preparedness arrangements at local, national and cross-border level. These include the development of:

• more functional interinstitutional arrangements and coordination mechanisms between national disaster response actors
