by Catherine MALLET

The EU Aid Volunteers initiative - Deployment call for proposals was published last week. EU Aid Volunteers brings together volunteers and organisations from different countries, providing practical support to humanitarian aid projects and contributing to strengthening the local capacity and resilience of disaster-affected communities.

The EU Aid Volunteers programme offers:

• Opportunities for European citizens to become EU Aid Volunteers in humanitarian projects worldwide, showing solidarity with those who most need it,
• Professional support by trained and well-prepared volunteers to communities affected by disaster,
• Capacity building for local staff and volunteers of organisations in countries hit by disasters
• Technical assistance for organisations based in Europe to strengthen their capacity to participate in the EU Aid Volunteers initiative.
