Within the scope of the PRECA project, a dedicated team of national trainers from Mongolia has successfully conducted comprehensive national training workshops in Ulaanbaatar on October 11-12, 2023 and November 6-7, 2023. The workshops, focusing on food safety, water safety, chemical safety, and command control and communication, received support from the Ministry of Environment and Tourism of Mongolia and the EU Delegation in Mongolia.

During the opening speech, Her Excellency Mrs. Axelle Nicaise, Ambassador of the EU Delegation, highlighted the workshops as a key milestone in the project, delivering essential knowledge and 'know-how' regarding the safety of mass events. Ms. Ts Uranchimeg, Director of Natural Resource Management at the Department of the Ministry of Environment and Tourism, expressed gratitude to all participants and EU experts for their crucial support.

Approximately 100 government officers from various government organizations and institutions actively participated and received certifications at the conclusion of the workshops. At the end of the training, national experts presented recommendations aimed at enhancing policies and addressing other issues related to mass gatherings. These recommendations are set to be submitted to the National Biosafety Committee for further consideration.

The impact of this training initiative is anticipated to elevate the collective efforts in improving knowledge, capacity building, and coordination among stakeholders involved in preparedness and response during mass gatherings and other health threats. This collaborative endeavor marks a significant stride towards ensuring the safety and well-being of communities during large-scale events.
