The purpose of GICHD's LMAD programme is to provide mine action and development practitioners with the information and tools required to link mine action with development. Our activities are organised around five key initiatives:
- The GICHD documents and gathers research, good practice and lessons learned on LMAD. The Resources page contains a comprehensive list of LMAD-related resources as well as a wider range of mine action-related publications and evaluations.
- We strengthen the capacity of mine action and development organisations to promote development in mine-affected countries and communities through the provision of Guidelines, training and technical advice.
- We facilitate an Online Forum to share information and promote dialogue on integrating mine action into development.
- We support the Linking Mine Action and Development Contact Group, which meets on the margins of the Meetings of States Parties to the APMBC and the Intersessional Work Programme.
- We regularly organise Workshops to share experiences and discuss good practice.
