Regional Rapid Response Teams (RRRT) for a strengthened decentralized Rescue System in Armenia (phase I)
SDC has a long standing collaboration with the Ministry of Emergency Situations (MES), which showed notable progress in the sphere of Disaster and Risk Reduction (DRR). Considering the existing capacities on the level of light rescue and the country's risk profile, important needs especially at the regional level still persist. The project's overall goal is to strengthen the decentralized rescue system through improved response capacities of the responsible governmental institutions.

| Hintergrund |
Armenia is highly prone to natural disasters, mainly earthquakes, but also landslides, floods and manmade disasters occur frequently, affecting seriously the population and challenging the responsible authorities. The government showed efforts to reduce its disaster risks. It signed the Hyogo Framework for Action, elaborated a national DRR framework and established a DRR platform. The MES is responsible for all types of disasters, it includes the Armenian Rescue Service (ARS) with central and regional branches and the Crisis Management Academy (CMA) for trainings. With SDC's support MES built up a nationwide local rescue system to tackle as first responders small scale emergencies. However, there are no regional rescue forces to handles middle to large scale disasters. |
| Ziele |
The project's overall goal is to strengthen the decentralized rescue system of Armenia through improved response capacities of the responsible governmental institutions (MES) for the final benefit of the Armenian population. Therefore pilot RRRT shall be built up to manage regional to national scale disasters and a model for their replication shall be established. Further institutional capacities within the MES' (ARS and CMA) shall be strengthened through training and coaching to transfer thereafter the required know-how to the regions. |
| Zielgruppen |
Master trainers/instructors, rescuer and key staff of the Crisis Management Academy (CMA) and Armenian Rescue Service (ARS) under the MES. |

| Resultate |
Resultate von früheren Phasen: It is the first of two project phases. Through previous projects (mainly "Ardzagank" 2006-2011 ), SDC supported the MES to build up and improve a country wide local rescue system, with provision of training and equipment in basic rescue and medical emergencies. |
