The Ministry of Security of Bosnia and Herzegovina, in collaboration with the Disaster Preparedness and Prevention Initiative of South-Eastern Europe (DPPI SEE), held a workshop titled "Preparation of Project Proposals in the Field of Protection and Rescue, and Application to Available EU Funds - Exchange of Experiences" on 25-26 September
2024, in Jahorina.
In addition to representatives from various levels of the host country, the workshop welcomed participants from DPPI SEE member states, including Albania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, and Slovenia, as well as representatives from the European Commission’s DG ECHO. The workshop aimed to provide a platform for participants from DPPI SEE countries to showcase best practices and exchange experiences in project development. Key discussions revolved around the challenges civil protection authorities face—from conducting institutional needs assessments and identifying relevant project topics, to writing applications and establishing project consortiums.
During the second part of the workshop, participants were divided into four working groups. Each group selected a relevant project topic, navigated application procedures, adhered to defined timelines and milestones, and presented their brief project proposals.
