EASF Conducts Crisis Response Mechanism Workshop

The Eastern Africa Standby Force rolled out a two-day Crisis Response Mechanism and Mandating Process Workshop in Naivasha, Kenya on 1st November 2018.

The workshop aims to review and enrich the existing draft handbook on Crisis Response Mechanism and Mandating Process that will be presented for adoption to the next Policy Organs Meetings scheduled to be conducted in the Republic of the Sudan in December, 2018. EASF Policy Organs are responsible for deliberating and making decisions which are then passed over to the Secretariat for implementation.

While opening the two-day workshop, the EASF Director Dr. Abdillahi Omar Bouh underlined the importance of the handbook in identifying the responsibilities and roles of the Policy Organs and EASF Structures towards crises response and mandating process with the ultimate aim of providing clear guidance on the institutional responsibilities at the Secretariat and Structure levels.

The workshop, which concludes on 2nd November 2018, has drawn twenty-four participants from the region including Technical Advisors from the United Kingdom and the Nordic Advisory and Coordination Staff (NACS).
