In fulfilment of а project developed in the framework of the NATO Updated Defense Capacity Building Package for Jordan (agreed by the NATO Partnerships and Cooperative Security Committee in June 2021), Mobile Education and Training Team (METT) from the CMDR COE, in close coordination with the Jordanian Public Security Directorate (PSD), planned and conducted tailored training in the field of crisis management and disaster response (CM and DR).
The five-day course conducted in the Royal Police Academy in Amman, Jordan, aimed at providing education and training for a core group of Jordanian PSD staff and key personnel from multiple ministries and institutions (Jordanian Armed Forces and Ministries of Interior, Energy and Health). It also supported the institutionalization of procedures and processes across different governmental levels. The CMDR COE team delivered advanced training and built knowledge, skills and competences, as well as clarified procedures for effective CM and DR not only in response to the regional security challenges stemming from terrorism and refugee movements, but also from the human-induced and natural disasters.
