A two-day OSCE Mission to Serbia capacity-building training course on community-based flood risk reduction opens on 14 October in Banja Koviljaca.
The event will address the challenges of torrential floods and the role of local authorities in developing effective risk, preparedness and response mechanisms with stronger community engagement that will ultimately contribute to the establishment of a society resilient to floods.
Participants will include representatives of local authorities and civil society organizations from five Western Serbian municipalities of Ljubovija, Loznica, Mali Zvornik, Osecina and Krupanj, severely hit by the floods in May 2014
Lectures delivered in the course of training will focus on the benefits of closer collaboration among local stakeholders aimed at reducing the vulnerability to natural hazards and stronger involvement of the civil society.
