Civil Protection Work Programme 2014
March 2014
On 20 February the Directorate-General for Humanitarian Aid and Civil Protection of the European Commission will hold an Information Day in Brussels (Belgium) on "Civil Protection Work Programme 2014". The aim of the Information Day is to familiarize potential applicants with the state of play in the European civil protection cooperation and to provide useful information on the "Civil Protection Work Programme 2014" with some useful guidance on the preparation of applications for proposals and tenders published in 2014. The newly adopted Union Civil Protection Mechanism provides funding opportunities for a number of activities such as projects on prevention and preparedness, exercises, exercises on modules and exchange of experts, in the framework of the EU Civil Protection Mechanism. Supporting relevant, innovative and cost-effective proposals is essential to allow a successful implementation of policy objectives. In order to ensure that the proposals and tenders comply with the required quality standards and to increase their success rate, the Commission will inform potential applicants on the technical and formal administrative (legal, financial, etc.) requirements and criteria applicable. Based on the new Union Civil Protection Mechanism legislation in the "Civil Protection Work Programme 2014" for the first time some Mechanism activities have been extended to the Eastern and Southern Neighborhood and to the EU candidate countries and potential candidates which are not yet members of the Mechanism. The new initiatives should provide for direct cooperation between the Mechanism's Participating States and the neighboring countries in the field of disaster management and should be complement to the activities financed by the Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA) and the European Neighborhood Policy Instrument (ENPI).
