Second phase of "Project for Increasing Resilience to Natural Disaster and Enhancing Preparedness Strategy (PREPS) in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia

In collaboration with municipalities’ Disaster Risk Reduction Working Groups (DRRWGs), Philanthropy successfully completed Community Led Disaster Risk Management Trainings (CLDRM) in municipalities of Gornji Milanovac, Ljubovija, Novi Pazar and Vrnjacka Banja. Action Plans of local communities exposed to recurring disasters will be developed in the upcoming period, in collaboration with public actors in charge for disaster risk reduction (DRR). Action Plans will assure active participation of local population and raising awareness on mutual responsibility within local authorities’ efforts to strategically improve principles and approaches of DRR management. Activities are implemented within the second phase of "Project for Increasing Resilience to Natural Disasters and Enhancing Preparedness Strategy (PREPS) in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia". The project will provide expert, material and practical support to local authorities and local communities exposed to recurring natural disasters and is funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), and implemented by CRS (Catholic Relief Services) in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and by Philanthropy and Caritas Serbia in Serbia.
