LMAD Contact Group

A Contact Group on Linking Mine Action and Development was established in May 2006. It meets on the margins of the Intersessional Standing Committee Meetings of the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention.

The Contact Group is an informal platform for discussing key LMAD-related issues, and sharing experiences and good practice. Discussions feed into States Parties’ efforts to implement key action points within the Nairobi Action Plan 2005-2009 PDF 193KB.
