Capacity Building Activities Priorities selected during the second Advisory Group and based on available budget Activities: Training on the job: one session April/June 2016 and a second session on Sept/Oct 2016 Remote assistance TAIEX for supporting recommendation implementation (expert mission, workshop, study tour)
Albania The overall goal is the approximation of Albanian regulation and strategies to EU Floods Directive and to improve the accessibility and comparability of flood risk information at national and regional level. Albania CBA -1: Support for the development of the National Flood Programme Albania CB - 2: Data Sharing and Flood Risk Information Systems 28
Bosnia and Herzegovina Targeted at completing the Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment for the entire Country and at adopting the Flood Risk Information System as a common platform for data and information sharing among the Entities and the District and at regional and European level.
