The Guide aims to provide mine risk education practitioners and mine action centres (MACs) with informal but practical advice on how they can improve communication in mine risk education programmes.
This study examines the ways in which various media have been used in Mine Awareness (Mine Risk Education) Programmes and the relative strengths and weaknesses vis-à-vis different contexts such as in Europe, Africa, and Latin America. In addition, their role in the differing phases of an evolving mine action programme: emergency, transitional and developmental. It is not the objective of the Study to criticise individual media items per se or the work of individual organisations, but rather to broadly examine the effectiveness of various types of media in the mine awareness context. |
