:: SHORT DESCRIPTION
Overall objective:
One of the long-standing consequences of the wars in the Balkans of the 1990s are manifold marginalised population groups who live in substandard settlements. Help has already addressed the housing problems of a number of marginalised population groups, in particular those of displaced Roma and Egyptian communities and of other socially disadvantaged groups. The Regional Housing Programme has also provided a relatively large number of people with sustainable housing solutions.
However, the level of education of many of these groups is rather low and environmental consciousness is practically non-existent. Everyday behaviour of such disadvantaged population groups often carries risks to damage the environment such blocking sewage canals or environmental pollution. Inadequate storage of wood, household items and other debris carry the risk of fires in their homes. This project addressed the risks mentioned in cooperation with the Directorate for Emergency Situations of the Montenegrin Ministry of Internal Affairs by strengthening of the protection and rescue service capacity, as well as by providing training to marginalised population groups on how to prevent the outbreak of fires and keeping the environment in the surroundings of their settlements safe and clean.
The support requested relates to the implementation of the activities on prevention of fire risks, education and strengthening the readiness of members operational units for protection and rescue, as well as procurement of necessary fire protection equipment (fire extinghuisers).
The specific objectives:
