Appealing Agency: Presidential Programme for Integrated Mine Action (PPAICMA)
Implementing Partners: National Intersectoral Commission for Mine Action (CINAMAP), PPAICMA, UN Development Programme (UNDP), cooperation agencies, non-governmental organizations, departmental and municipal authorities
Summary Objectives: The project aims to increase the capacities of municipal governments to execute local public policy through mine action programmes that address the needs of affected communities. It will support an effective transfer of capacities between governments elected from 2008 to 2011, and new governments expected in 2012 and 2015. The project contributes to the first long-term objective of the national mine action strategy.

  • Formulate diagnostic and baseline documents on each municipality.
  • Set up mechanisms to coordinate and articulate local mine action interventions involving departmental mine action committees and the PPAICMA.
  • Support the development and implementation of new actions in municipalities.
  • Create tools for monitoring, follow up, evaluation and adjustment of identified interventions.
  • Raise attention to municipal projects at landmine events and promote their inclusion in municipal budgeting.
  • Transfer mine action capacities to new municipal governments; develop 2012-2015 planning instruments.

Expected Outcomes:
  • Public administration staff will attend training.
  • Diagnoses and baseline information will be in place.
  • Mechanisms will be established for coordinating and articulating local interventions.
  • Monitoring, follow up and evaluation will track existing interventions in each municipality.
  • Steps will be established to transfer capacities across changes in mayors and municipal administrations.
