EU HNS Lessons Learned Meeting in Warsaw

Warsaw, 30th of March: A successful Lessons Learned meeting of our two Host Nation Support exercises was conducted in beautiful Warsaw, Poland. We could analyse the two exercises together with Marcin Kędra, our DG ECHO project officer, Bogdan Pop, Cristian Boeriu, Turucz Emilia and Sedei Artur Vladimir and our friends from iHELP institute.

On most topics there was a common understanding, the environment was not easy, starting with Covid-19, inflation and the ongoing war in Ukraine, neighbouring the Republic of Moldova. One of the conclusions was, that the host countries could learn a lot and were able to improve and adapt their national structures to the EU HNS guideline and the UCPM generally. Due to the efforts of all partners: DSU, Department for Emergency Situations, Ministry of Internal Affairs, Romania, iHELP institute, PubliComm GmbH and the University of Medicine, Pharmacy, Science and Technology of Târgu Mureş, we could solve all challenges of this project. We got great assistance from the host countries, the General Inspectorate for Emergency Situations, Ministry of Internal Affairs, Republic of Moldova, and the Public Security Directorate, Civil Defence Directorate, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.
