Welcome

The Initiative aims to mitigate CBRN risks of criminal, accidental or natural origin by promoting a coherent policy, improving coordination and preparedness at a national and regional level, and by offering a comprehensive approach covering legal, scientific, enforcement and technical issues.
The Initiative involves over 50 countries and has been launched in 8 different regions of the world. It consolidates and optimises existing capabilities while increasing local ownership, local expertise and long-term sustainability.
It addresses regional CBRN needs through tailored projects and aims at strengthening policies, institutional capacity building at both the regional and national level, as well as a regional culture of safety and security to ensure an effective response.
