(Photo compiled by ADPC)

EU (ECHO/DIPECHO) at A GLANCEThe European Union as a whole (i.e., the Member States and the Commission) is one of the world's main humanitarian aid donors

Humanitarian Aid department (ECHO) is the service of the European Commission responsible for this activity.

Mandate to provide emergency assistance and relief to the victims of natural disasters or armed conflict outside the European Union. The aid is intended to go directly to those in distress, irrespective of race, religion or political convictions.

In 1996 ECHO launched a specific programme, DIPECHO (Disaster Preparedness ECHO) dedicated to disaster preparedness.

The main component of ECHO's contribution to the global Disaster Risk Reduction efforts remains the DIPECHO programme which now covers 7 disaster-prone regions.
