Assignment | Prepared International (PPI) is an expert consultancy that specializes in research and capacity building services in the field of Disaster Risk Reduction, Preparedness and Resilience, as well as Climate Change adaption and Emergency Management. The experts at PPI work together to inform political decision-making, while providing effective capacity building strategies in the long term. The PPI approach encompasses a holistic set of tools for approaching Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), including the development of preparedness models, organizational development and restructuring, selfadaptive systems, and strategies for governance and mass evacuation. |
Profile | Depending on the profile of the candidate, tasks could be to support a project related to High Impact, low probability disasters in the EU, nature based solutions in disaster context, urban resilience in the Middle East and strengthening of disaster preparedness in other countries including in the Pacific region. Topics of the internship can vary and can be discussed according to thematic interests of the candidate. Given that the intern will support international projects related to disaster risk management, the internship might entail travelling as part of a project-related mission. In case travel leads to places outside of the EU, PPI will cover additional insurances and vaccinations as needed. |
