EvaluationAn External Review of the UNICEF ANAMA Mine RiskANAMA is the national Mine Action Centre and responsible for all integrated mine action in Azerbaijan. ANAMA cooperates with UN agencies, International NGOs and private demining companies as well as with Azeri Ministries and NGOs regarding impact surveys, mines clearance and Mine Risk Education.
UNICEF started in January 2000 a two years Mine Risk Education (MRE) Project together with ANAMA after a needs assessment had been carried out. UNICEF finances the MRE project in respect of salaries for two staff members, MRE workshops, monitoring and evaluation and MRE materials. ANAMA provides office space, some staff salaries and, when there is a need, a vehicle for transport. The Mine Risk Education is part of the ANAMA Information Department. The needs assessment strongly indicated a need for MRE to be disseminated to the mine/UXO-affected communities at large and especially to young men between 18 and 44 years of age, where most casualties were registered. The only previous MRE project in Azerbaijan was carried out by the ICRC a few years earlier in 957 schools in the mine affected areas and ID camps. It was mainly MRE presentations of 1½ to 2 hours per session for teachers, who in turn were asked to disseminate the MRE messages to the school children. MRE materials were also distributed to the school staff and children.
