Descripción
The Western Balkans region is prone to natural hazards, such as floods,landslides, droughts and forest fires, as a result of its geological structure,climatic and topographic characteristics. The agriculture sector is negativelyimpacted by these hazards, with damage caused to agriculturalinfrastructure and equipment and losses in crops, livestock, forestry andfisheries. Agricultural sector actors had only limited knowledge, awarenessand capacities to prevent, reduce and prepare for the adverse impacts ofnatural hazards in the short and long term. In this context, the project wasdesigned to strengthen institutional mechanisms with improved technicalcapacities, tools and methods in the Ministries of Agriculture and amongrelated stakeholders in Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the formerYugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia.
