Gender and diversity are mainstreamed, and equality and inclusion promoted in explosive ordnance risk reduction
A GDEI-supportive approach to explosive ordnance risk reduction comprises activities aimed at mainstreaming gender and diversity and promoting equality and inclusion, to recognise and integrate the experiences and priorities of individuals and groups affected by explosive ordnance. This approach ensures that explosive ordnance risk reduction programmes are more effective, inclusive, transformative, and sustainable. The GDEI approach contributes to better performance, increased innovation, improved outcomes, and supports the localisation agenda by bringing diverse perspectives, experiences, and expertise to the table. More broadly, it also promotes human rights and social justice – having thereby a transformational impact at societal level.
In 2024, the GICHD will support Cambodia to achieve an established and well-functioning gender and diversity capacity, while in general it will continue to promote capacity enhancement on gender and diversity. In particular, the Centre will focus on two countries or partners, to improve their scores against the set criteria for establishing and maintaining a well- functioning gender and diversity capacity. In parallel, the Centre will continue to provide technical know-how by sharing expert inputs in at least three IMAS/national mine action standards (NMAS) initiatives to ensure that gender and diversity are well integrated in them. Other objectives for 2024 include ensuring the success of the gender focal point (GFP) capacity enhancement programme by striving for the successful completion of assignments by the GFPs. This will be done by mainstreaming diversity and promoting equality and inclusion, and by placing an emphasis on national and local participation in GICHD-organised events. Finally, the Centre will put more focus on local and regional training, in local or regional languages, using local expertise.
