IMMEDIATE OUTCOME 6 Risks from explosive ordnance are reduced in a gender and diversity sensitive and responsive manner
Building partners’ knowledge and skills to mainstream gender and diversity considerations increases the impact of mine action interventions. The resilience of EO-affected communities is strengthened through raising the profile of EORE and improving its integration, effectiveness, efficiency and relevance.
3 gender and diversity baseline assessments completed Afghanistan, HALO Trust Afghanistan, HALO Trust Somalia 13 countries and/or partners equipped with a dedicated capacity on gender and diversity Afghanistan, Cambodia, Colombia, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Nigeria, Tajikistan, Vietnam 60% of countries improved their gender and diversity response system and practices 10 countries and / or partners formalised their gender and diversity mainstreaming frameworks Afghanistan, Cambodia, Colombia, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Nigeria, Tajikistan, Vietnam
5 training courses developed, with 11 people trained (5 women, 6 men) and 1,432 online users 93% of participants applied new knowledge and skills (10 women, 3 men) 1 NMAA and 12 partners adopted EORE good practice shared 4 global policies or agendas promoting EORE produced 2 publications developed T Strengthening a Sustainable National Capacity for Gender and Diversity Mainstreaming in Mine Action
ACHIEVEMENTS The GICHD continues to respond to the needs of the sector to ensure that risks from EO are reduced in a gender and diversity sensitive and responsive manner. The Centre recognises that for EO risk reduction efforts to be truly inclusive, effective, or transformative, gender and diversity considerations must be integrated throughout the programme cycle. A significant achievement, in this regard, is the mainstreaming of gender and diversity in the updated IMAS 12.10 on EORE. Building on its accumulated experience over the past years, and applying good practice and lessons learnt, the GICHD has supported context-specific, results-oriented processes to assess, develop, review and implement gender and diversity mainstreaming action plans with partners in Afghanistan, Cambodia, Lebanon and Somalia. This, in combination with ongoing provision of technical advice and the development of skills-based training, has resulted in tangible improvements in gender and diversity mainstreaming capacities in the EO risk reduction sector. Significant progress has also been made in raising the global profile of EORE,
as well as in identifying ways of improving its integration, effectiveness, efficiency and relevance. The GICHD has contributed to these outcomes through several activities—including the publication of a Review of New Technologies and Methodologies for EORE in Challenging Contexts, the launch of a project to develop an e-learning course on EORE, the provision of Secretariat support to the EORE Advisory Group, and the delivery of technical advice to regional and national stakeholders.
LESSONS LEARNT T The EORE project has reached a stage
where the achievements made at global level need to be translated into implementation at regional and country levels. To this end, the GICHD is looking to expand the scope of its EORE project in 2021 to include technical support to regional and national stakeholders.
