Capacity and Contacts for In-Country Emergency Response
Government
No Military/Civil defense assets are currently applied in ongoing relief programs. In a potential emergency situation, the potential of the Military/Civil defense assets need to be assessed and determined depending on complexity of the situation and political implications. National Military capacity is limited. Most of Brinland’s assets are old and not well maintained. However, small fixed wing aircraft and helicopters are often used by the Government and kept in good conditions.
For information on government contact details, please see the following link: 4.1 Brinland Government Contact List
Humanitarian Community
WFP phased out its development activities in the country in 1992 after 15 years of presence in the country.
Current UN partners and cooperating NGOs include UNDP, UNICEF, WHO, and the Brinland Red Cross Society. The main areas of intervention include development projects and health related activities for HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis.
