0 . MAJOR CHANGES SINCE PREVIOUS VERSION OF THE HIP
In order to respond to the national Preparedness and Response Plan for the Ebola virus disease in Burkina Faso, and on the basis of the contribution agreement concluded in December 2014 between the Commission and the Austrian Development Agency (ADA) an additional amount of EUR 963 000 is allocated to the present HIP.
This amount will cover actions implemented by NGO partners of ECHO in the framework of the Burkina Faso National Plan for Ebola preparedness and response. The actions will cover preparedness operations in order to strengthen the capacity to take care of EVD cases according to appropriate standards and to address their consequences. This new component meets the identified needs in the present HIP regarding the reduction of epidemics’ risks.
