Guidelines

Despite the availability of extensive research documenting the need for greater coordination between mine action and development organisations, concrete guidance for practitioners and policy-makers on how to link mine action with development has been lacking.GICHD is developing LMAD guidelines on how to ensure mine action promotes development in mine-affected countries. This is a key component of our capacity development approach. More specifically, the guidelines seek to:
  • Increase awareness that mine/ERW contamination blocks development in many mine-affected countries
  • Strengthen coordination between mine action and development organisations
  • Ensure mine action planning and implementation, including priority-setting, promotes development and poverty reduction efforts
  • Ensure mine action is aligned with development plans, programmes and budgets
  • Encourage development actors to assist mine-affected communities and integrate mine action in their development programming
  • Assist bilateral and multilateral donors to integrate mine action in their development programming
  • Promote inclusive, gender-sensitive mine action and development programmes
