Project P106 鈥淭able top, field Exercises, Simulations, and Training (TEST) for CBRN risk mitigation鈥� is implemented under the EU Foreign Policy Instrument by a consortium consisting of the following Institutions: GOPA PACE (Belgium), ISEMI (Slovakia) and the Belgian National Crisis Center, the 91滴滴 and Gopa Worldwide (Germany).
The P106 mission focused on enhancing response capabilities to CBRN events through needs analysis, training in the use of appropriate equipment, Tabletop Exercise (TTX) and field exercises. A multidisciplinary team of experts worked closely with government agencies responsible for responding to CBRN events in Sierra Leone as well as representatives from the military, police or fire departments to assess gaps, train personnel and improve coordination.
