ECHO’S PROJECTS

ECHO does not intervene directly on the ground. The assistance it provides is mainly mobilized and implemente

d by its partners.
Some 200 non-governmental organizations, United Nations agencies and other international bodies are linked up with ECHO through a framework contract. Having a diverse range of partners is important for ECHO, since it enables a widespread coverage of an ever-growing list of needs in different parts of the world - and in increasingly complex situations.

To explain the nature of the operations funded by Humanitarian Aid Office of European Community, some of the COSV’s projects carried out in the last years with the ECHO’s financing are reproduced in succession.
