Building Resilience: Advancing Operational Readiness of the Korea Disaster Relief Team (KDRT)

About this project

Through this project, IOM in the Republic of Korea is implementing a standardized training designed to strengthen the operational readiness, safety, and humanitarian competence of the KDRT reserve members. The project will deliver one Safe and Secure Approaches in Field Environments (SSAFE) training workshop, targeting 25 participants.
