Preparatory study for an impact assessment on the establishment of a European voluntary humanitarian aid corps
Publication metadata
This report presents the results of an impact assessment study of establishing a European Voluntary Humanitarian Aid Corps. The creation of the Voluntary Corps was put forward by the Greek presidency in 2003 and is mentioned in the Lisbon Treaty (Art. 214.5). Its purpose is to provide ”a framework for joint contributions from young Europeans to the humanitarian.” The corps would focus on volunteering in terms of providing assistance to countries in need and in the countries in need, and it has a strong emphasis on the disaster management cycle (i.e. prevention, preparedness, response and recovery) acknowledging though that in the first critical response phases, the scope for volunteering is more limited. In operational terms, the study has identified two important features of the volunteers to be targeted by the initiative viz.: their educational background and their prior experience in third countries and/or in humanitarian aid experience.
