6. Mine Action and Cluster Munitions Programme 2016 -2020 Under this project, The HALO Trust will deliver a community-centred survey and clearance programme to support the humanitarian and early recovery needs of populations affected by mines and Explosive Remnants of War (ERW) in eastern Ukraine resulting from the ongoing conflict. This element of HALO’s global project will be implemented over 24 months in Years 3 and 4 of the project in anticipation of an application for emergency funds to cover activities in Ukraine until that date. This project will build on a Dutch Government grant to HALO in 2015-16 which was used to establish HALO’s programme in Ukraine, and directly led to the first non-technical survey and clearance operations in the country by an international NGO. Over 24 months, HALO will deploy two demining teams and one Community Outreach Risk Education (CORE) team with Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) capabilities, comprising a total of 31 local personnel. In alignment with Dutch Government SRoL overarching goal, this project will involve citizens of Ukraine in peacebuilding processes in an effort to promote legitimate stability in order to lay the foundation for sustainable development. Clearance, survey and risk assessment activity is designed to engage local people in the rebuilding and reconstruction process, and will focus on facilitating the repair of critical infrastructure and clearance of farmland, as well as ensuring the safe return of displaced families. By making safe agricultural land available and providing safe access for repair of critical infrastructure, this project will increase economic opportunities in eastern Ukraine and thereby reduce the draw to further violence or engagement in illegal trafficking. The overall impact of this project will be to contribute to the three over-arching policy impacts of: space for inclusive development, sustained conditions for human security, and increase resilience and ability to cope with shocks. The removal of hazardous items directly improves safety, while the economic and livelihood opportunities either restored or created by clearance of land improve overall human security in affected areas. The return of IDPs to safe areas, with economic opportunities provided by clearance, will lead to more resilient communities inclined to engage with efforts toward peace. Throughout the project the programme will collect internal operational data and IMSMA (International Management System for Mine Action) data forms for submission to the national IMSMA database (primarily non-technical survey reports, land release reports, and accident data). Internal operational data is collected electronically using tablets and synchronised to a database. IMSMA implementation has only just begun in Ukraine, and currently the limited data set provides little of interest to third parties. Military and security restrictions may restrict the areas covered by the data, and until the development of a National Mine Action Centre, national resources for disseminating the data are not available. Rather than providing potentially incomplete raw data sets to actors beyond the Mine Action community, the survey team provided by this project is able to conduct risk assessments of areas of interest for projects implemented by national or international organisations and government bodies. In the longer term, the HALO Trust will assist in dissemination of IMSMA, as it has done in Cambodia with the development of a publicly accessible web map showing IMSMA data.
