Mine Action Review

This project aims to assist the national authorities of affected States Parties to take measurable actions to meet their commitments as laid out in the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention (APMBC) and the Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM). This is accomplished through research publications and recommendations from expert organizations to enhance information sharing among stakeholders. The project supports the organization and analysis of data on explosive remnants of war contamination worldwide including national survey and clearance activities. This is done by publishing a series of annual reports with information on country-specific monitoring and country-specific analyses of progress. Project activities include: researching drafting and publishing the annual reports: "Clearing the Mines " "Clearing Cluster Munition Remnants " "Guide to the Oslo Action Plan and Monitoring on Survey and Clearance " and upon adoption of the related action plan "Guide to the Lausanne Action Plan and Monitoring on Survey and Clearance."

The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) increased measures taken by national authorities and implementing partners in affected APMBC States Parties to address and mitigate country-specific weaknesses and strengthen key aspects of their national anti-personnel mine survey and clearance programs; and (2) increased measures taken by national authorities and implementing partners in affected CCM States Parties to address and mitigate country-specific weaknesses and strengthen key aspects of their national cluster munition survey and clearance programs.
