EC training "Acting in transition"

This training seminar was addressed to EC/EU staff working in transition situations (such as man-made, natural post-disaster situations, or economic, political, environmental post-crises). Around twenty people attended the seminar, from headquarters (EuropeAid and ECHO), delegations and ECHO offices in five countries (Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Haiti, Sri Lanka and Yemen).

Three main objectives were given for the training: (i) provide participants with better understanding of the EC/EU policies, regulations and procedures relating to transition situations; (ii) introduce the joint humanitarian-development framework (JHDF) ; and, (iii) facilitate the exchange of experiences and learn from case studies and good practices.

A summary prepared by the ROSA team highlights the main points of discussion and recommandations.
