This publication aims to explain the particular role that mine action structures can play by providing five key examples of mine action in integrating victim assistance into broader frameworks. It is hoped that by documenting examples of good practice, national mine action authorities, United Nations advisors and partner governments will benefit from enhanced understanding regarding the types of interventions that are most appropriate and have the greatest impact. This is particularly important as concerns the sustainability of efforts beyond the end of humanitarian demining programmes.
