DPPI SEE Regional Meeting

DPPI SEE Regional Meeting

The DPPI SEE Regional Meeting serves as the main governing and decision-making body, functioning as a forum for the Heads/Directors General of Civil Protection and Disaster Management Agencies from DPPI SEE member countries. These officials, supported by their respective authorities and ministries, oversee disaster preparedness, prevention, and management issues.

The Chairmanship of the Regional Meeting rotates annually among member countries in alphabetical order. The country holding the Chair-in-Office is responsible for implementing DPPI SEE’s initiatives, coordinating activities, and promoting the organization at both regional and international levels.

The Regional Meeting takes place twice a year, with key responsibilities including:

• Endorsing the annual work programme, work plan, and budget.
• Approving specific projects and Working Groups.

These meetings provide a political framework and serve as a platform for consultation and decision-making, with recommendations forwarded to national authorities for further action.
