UNICEF entered into a partnership with the Geneva International Centre for Humanitarian Demining to develop the Best Practice Guidebooks. The series will provide practical advice for implementing the mine risk education component of the International Mine Action Standards.

Twelve Guidebooks have been developed. They address a wide range of issues, including coordination of mine risk education, dissemination of public information, implementing projects, establishing community mine action liaisons, and mine risk education in emergencies.

The primary aim of these Guidebooks is to provide advice, tools and guidance to undertake mine risk education programmes that are compliant with International Mine Action Standards. They are also intended to provide a framework for a more predictable, systematic and integrated approach to mine risk education. They will be useful to anyone engaged in planning, managing, funding or evaluating mine risk education programmes and projects.
