Guidelines to enhance the use of landmine/ERW hazard information by
economic development actors (Nov 2009)
|
| |
by Charles Downs (principal investigator)
Informed by a year-long study of existing best practices of national mine action authorities,
the "Guidelines to enhance the use of landmine/ERW hazard information by economic development actors" (
click here for the Guidelines
) provide practical advice to those seeking to increase the integration
of mine action with development. As the number of new landmine/ERW victims continues to fall in most countries, the provision of
effective support to development becomes increasingly important. The "Guidelines" highlight the importance of proactive national mine
action center efforts to determine what hazard information is important to the success of specific projects of individual development
actors, and the need to usefully support them as "clients" and not simply consider them as "stakeholders". The "Guidelines" address
specific measures to increase mine action program capacity to respond to development actor needs through improved information, survey
and clearance when required, together with the importance of including the potential need for and cost of clearance in development
project budgets, whether these are funded by national budget, loan or private resources. Together these measures will help improve
current planning and enhance future relevance and funding for mine action programs.
Funding for this project was provided by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Political-Military
Affairs, Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (PM/WRA).

by economic development organizations." The enclosed mapping and discussion can serve to orient national programs seeking to increase
their outreach to potential users of mine action information.

Victim Reduction Model (Jun 2008)
|
| |
by Dang Ngo, MPH (principal investigator)
and Lawrence H. Moulton, Ph.D.
The project goal was to develop and test a risk predictor tool
based upon LIS data in order to identify communities with the highest probability of future landmine incidents.
Field visits were conducted in a sample size of 79 communities in Afghanistan to test the effectiveness of the model
in predicting victims in the four years subsequent to the LIS. The tool is intended to provide national authorities with a means to scope and prioritize remediation efforts
to reduce future victims. Click here

Funding for this project was provided by the U.S. Department of State,
Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (PM/WRA). SAC thanks the United Nations
Mine Action Centre for Afghanistan (UNMACA) for their tremendous moral and material support to execute this project.
