Constraints and/or recommendations for GDCC discussion

 

Continued discussions with stakeholders moving forward with using a Programme-based approach for Mine Action.  Geneva International Centre for Humanitarian Demining (GICHD) approached to provide technical assistance.

Some disagreement within the sector about the most appropriate way to move forward with it.  GDCC may consider the establishment of permanent capacity to assist TWG’s/sector in developing a PBA/SWAP through in-house expertise.
