Well-prepared personnel is key for ensuring successful civilian crisis management and stabilisation-type missions. Capacity development does not simply mean reaching sufficient quantities of personnel, but also ensuring their quality and interoperability. Training activities target the range of individual needs associated with deployment and support missions in fulfilling their mandate adequately and efficiently.

ENTRi is guided by the principle of equal opportunity to attend trainings, regardless of financial capacity, and encourages transnational cooperation. A rigorous participant selection process will ensure that only qualified candidates will participate in the activities.

ENTRi aims at benefiting the overall performance of the missions and the populations in crisis-affected countries.

The project design will allow for maximum flexibility to react to a changing crisis management environment, with a view to strengthening the link between training and actual deployment. Ongoing needs assessments and close collaboration with seconding or recruiting institutions in the EU and in the field will provide the opportunity to optimally adapt the development and delivery of courses to ensuring a demand-based approach.
