After assessment of the available capacities, Belgium had proposed to send either two water purification units, accompanied by 23 experts, or essential equipment.

Local technical requirements described by Indonesia, as well as related organisational requirements, do not allow however to be able to carry out the proposed mission properly.

In these conditions, B-FAST can’t unfortunately be deployed usefully in the zone.

B-FAST (« Belgian First Aid and Support ») is an interdepartmental structure composed of the Prime Minister’s Office, the FPS Foreign Affairs, Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation, the FPS Public Health & Environment, the FPS Interior, the FPS Budget and the Ministry of National Defence.
