Main Project partners: CECC: http://www.sica.int/cecc/ The Central American Education and Cultural Coordination (CECC) is one of the sector technical institutions integrated by the Governments that are part of the SICA (Central American Integration System). Its Secretariat has its office in Costa Rica. The CECC and CEPREDENAC maintain a close working relationship and are committed to increasing the attention that formal education systems across the region afford to risk reduction.
	CEPREDENAC: http://www.cepredenac.org/ CEPREDENAC, the Central American Centre of Coordination for the Prevention of Natural Disasters, is a technical institution set up by Central American Governments which are part of the SICA (Central American Integration System).  It effectively receives strong support from its member States and from multilateral and bilateral donors.
	UN/ISDR: http://www.eird.org/ The ISDR aims at building disaster resilient communities by promoting increased awareness of the importance of disaster reduction as an integral component of sustainable development, with the goal of reducing human, social, economic and environmental losses due to natural hazards and related technological and environmental disasters. The UN/ISDR is the focal point in the UN System to promote links and synergies between, and the coordination of, disaster reduction activities in the socio-economic, humanitarian and development fields, as well as to support policy integration. It serves as an international information clearinghouse on disaster reduction, developing awareness campaigns and producing articles, journals, and other publications and promotional materials related to disaster reduction.
	UNICEF: http://www.unicef.org/lac UNICEF is mandated to ensure the realization of the rights of children and supports national programmes, through the implementation of agreed programmes of cooperation that seek to promote these rights.  Within this broad context, in the region of Central America UNICEF country offices have developed a long-standing relationship with Governments to support access by all children to quality education.  UNICEF is thus a key interlocutor of Ministries of Education and is in a very strong position to positively influence developments in the sector at all levels, from the allocation of budgetary resources to the sector to policy developments to initiatives implemented at the local level.

Since it was set up in 1992, the European Commission has financed and coordinated humanitarian operations in more than 100 countries outside EU.
THE European Commission has a longstanding commitment to help the victims of such crises.  Its humanitarian aid department (ECHO) provides relief assistance that goes directly to people in distress, irrespective of their nationality, religion, gender or ethnic origin.  Working with its partners in the field, ECHO acts swiftly to supply aid when disaster strikes and continues to help stricken regions even after the media spotlight and political interest has shifted elsewhere.
For the Commission, the best news is always when it can report the phasing out of its humanitarian operations in a particular country or region, since this is an indicator that the crisis is over.  But as long as there are needs to be met, the Commission is ready to respond, giving concrete expression to the EU’s solidarity with the world’s most vulnerable populations.
Partners.
The humanitarian programmes funded by the Commission are implemented through partner organizations: United Nations relief agencies, members of the Red Cross and Red Crescent movement and around 200 non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
Having a diverse range of partners with very different specialisations is important for the Commission, enabling it to meet the growing needs of people facing increasingly complex crises in different parts of the world.  The Commission has developed close working relationships with its partners, both at level of policy issues and of specific humanitarian operations.
