A General Evaluation of the Geneva International Centre for Humanitarian Demining (GICHD) - Final Report

The Geneva International Centre for Humanitarian Demining (GICHD) is generally perceived to be relevant and effective within the mine action sector, although there are some vocal, and potentially significant groups that take a more negative view. In interviews with attendees at the 13th International Meeting of National Mine Action Programme Directors and UN Advisors, 65% of respondents were positive about the Centre\u27s relevance and 63% about its effectiveness. The Centre\u27s publications were generally very well received. The Francophone programme enjoyed an entirely enthusiastic and positive response from all who deal with it. Eighty per cent of respondents said that they thought the Centre meets the needs of its key audiences. Forty four per cent of interviewees were positive about the Centre\u27s communication and 55% about its cooperation. In a general questionnaire distributed to participants, 79% of respondents were positive about the Centre\u27s cooperation and coordination performance. The widely held view is that the Centre has been through difficult times, is now doing better, but is not yet achieving its full potential.

Effects of Mixed Teams on Land Release

The Gender and Mine Action Programme (GMAP) investigated the impact of mixed gender teams on land release. Based on the opinion of the respondents, as well as gender baseline assessments conducted by GMAP, the organization found that in most cases mixed teams in the land release process are primarily associated with the employment of women and its effect on the teams. Some mine action managers indicated that mixed teams actually enable better access to information while only a few respondents indicated that more accurate and inclusive information will allow mine action organizations to prioritize tasks where the impact is highest. This demonstrates that despite arguments in favor of mixed teams, their importance is still not fully understood in the mine action sector

How to Improve Demining Activities Through Gender-sensitive Mine Risk Education

However, there is still a need for a better understanding of what mine-affected communities can gain from including gender and age perspectives in mine action and how the different pillars of mine action mutually improve the quality and impact of mine action programs
