Published purpose

This project aims to enhance the effectiveness of international mine action by consolidating the links between mine action and development cooperation. The project has the following two objectives: i) To support the work of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development's (OECD) Development Cooperation Directorate (DCD). The DCD's Network on Conflict, Peace and Development Co-operation brings together conflict prevention and peace-building experts from bilateral and multilateral development agencies. The project supports the Network's efforts to formulate sound policy and programming guidelines and practical tools for linking mine action into development programming. ii) To support the Contact Group on Linking Mine Action and Development in helping countries that are party to the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Treaty to achieve several of the action points of the Nairobi Action Plan relating to the integration of mine action and development.
