1. Strengthen information-sharing and collaboration between mine action and development actors. 2. Reflect mine action in national, sub-national and/or sector development plans and budgets. 3. Ensure the national mine action programme responds to the humanitarian and development needs of all citizens affected by mine/ERW contamination, particularly survivors. 4. Demonstrate national ownership. National ownership is an important part of promoting development in mine-affected communities. 5. Ensure mine action policies, programmes and operations are gender-sensitive and respond to the needs of all those affected, without bias. Mine/ERW contamination affects women, men, girls and boys differently. 6. Ensure that the mine action programme supports broader armed violence reduction and peace-building programmes, where appropriate. Mine action can be an effective confidence-building measure in conflict and post-conflict situations.
