Training: Development of NMAS

This technical and training support package assists in the review, development and drafting of national mine action standards based on IMAS. Training services are tailored to the needs of individual programmes, targeted at senior national programme staff of a National Mine Action Authority or Mine Action Centre. The duration of the support will vary depending on individual needs and can include the attachment of personnel to a national programme for a specified period. The support builds on a review of a comprehensive national standards template document and its adaptation to meet specific national requirements.
