“Australian Civilian Corps”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

The Australian Civilian Corps (ACC) is an Australian Government sub-agency that recruits and deploys civilian specialists to provide aid to developing nations in times of conflict or natural disasters.^[1] It is a component of AusAID (the Australian Agency for International Development) that was created in 2009^[2] and operates to increase the effectiveness of Australia's overseas aid program by providing rapid response capabilities.

The ACC maintains a register of up to 500 civilians who have offered their particular skills and experience in a wide range of roles. These registered civilians can be engaged for rapid deployment to natural disaster zones and regions experiencing conflict to assist and coordinate disaster recovery efforts,^[3] where an official request for assistance has been received from the affected nation.

The ACC has sent deployments to South Sudan, Haiti and Afghanistan, supporting recovery and stabilisation programs.^[4] An ACC worker was seriously injured in a suicide attack in the Uruzgan province of Afghanistan in March 2012.^[5]
