The first Landmines and Livelihoods report, entitled THE DEPARTURE OF THE DEVIL, was commissioned by Yemen Executive Mine Action Centre (YEMAC), UNDP and the GICHD, with the following objectives:
- To assess the overall socio-economic returns from mine clearance investments
- To make a preliminary assessment of complementary development initiatives for mine-affected communities
- To enhance the capacity of YEMAC to conduct future assessments of socio-economic benefits from mine action; assess the community Landmine Impact Scores as a tool for identifying impact and determining priorities for action; advice on how to design and conduct on-going socio-economic surveys relating to ERW; advise on integrating social differentiation within LIS survey protocols, and advise on enhancements to YEMAC’s monitoring and evaluation system.
The findings of the survey are presented in three sections:
- The impact of demining on communities
- Development opportunities for demined communities
- Considerations for YEMAC
