Participants talked about the end of the project and the exit strategy for which 2 charters have been developed and are under validation process by the partner countries. The twining concept has also been addressed. When implemented, one country will be especially in charge of one topic.

The training on MyDewetra ended on 17 December after 14 days. Participants from Algeria, Morocco, Lebanon, Palestine are now able to prepare daily flood and forest fire risk bulletins on the basis of the info available in myDEWETRA.
