Support to National Demining - Moz

Breve Descrição

In addition to threatening the lives and physical safety of civilian populations, landmines and other explosive remnants of war deprive inhabitants of access to land for economic purposes thereby increasing poverty. Mine action is therefore included in the Government’s 2011-2014 Plano de Acção para a Redução da Pobreza (PARP –Mozambique’s Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper) as a cross-cutting issue, emphasising the importance of addressing the mine contamination problem in a sustainable development context. In this context, demining becomes a strategically crucial activity, because it has a direct impact on other key priority areas. When mines are present it is impossible to implement development projects or programs. Two fundamental objectives of demining in Mozambique is, first, to ensure that mines are cleared in the affected regions in order to prevent and reduce the loss of human life and, second, allow implementation of economic projects, resettlement, and greater mobility of population groups. In accordance with the government’s priorities for development assistance, UN support to Mine Action in Mozambique is included in the UN Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF). It contributes to the wider UN assistance to better prevent and respond to both natural and man-made disasters, thereby reducing risk of disasters for the benefit all people in Mozambique, particularly the poorest and most vulnerable. The overall outcome for Mozambique’s Mine Action Programme reflects those objectives outlined in the PARP and UNDAF. The Mine Action activities will ultimately reduce poverty by releasing land back to communities for agricultural activities, infrastructural development, and increased livelihoods, while ensuring its sustainability by reducing risks and hazards to the general population. The Government of Mozambique has declared a goal of clearing all known mined areas by March 2014. This is in accordance with its commitments under the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention of which it was an early signatory and in pursuit of which it plays a leadership role. Mozambique has been successful in clearing mines in the northern provinces of the country, which have now been declared mine free. The National Mine Action Plan of Mozambique focuses on the six remaining provinces in the south and centre of the country still affected. This project described in this concept note supports that goal by enhancing the national capacities for the implementation of the National Mine Action Plan, increasing the national capacity to manage and implement all activities required to clear all known mined areas by the 2014 deadline and strengthening the national capacity to address the residual threats from other explosive remnants of war. The direct beneficiaries of UNDP’s support to Mine Action are the National Institute for Demining (Instituto Nacional de Desminagem – IND) and the Humanitarian Demining Operators responsible for all mine action activities in Mozambique. The indirect beneficiaries are all citizens of the affected areas whose livelihood and human security is affected by the impact of mines and Explosive Remnants of War (ERW). The proposed project is divided into three parts: (1) to strengthen the capacity of the National Demining Institute for coordination, information management, and quality assurance; (2) to support the demining operations in the field, including post-clearance inspections and official handover of released land to the provincial authority; and (3) facilitate establishment of a national mechanism to address residual risks from other ERW. The success of each of these components is of equal importance for an effective programme as the first component provides the framework to ensure that the activities undertaken in the second component are performed in a cost-effective and targeted manner, and can be sustained by national authorities. The third component ensures sustainability of an integrated national capacity to address the residual threat from other explosive remnants of war that will remain after the 2014 deadline to clear all known anti-personnel landmines. Ultimately, this programme will release contaminated land to affected communities for agricultural activities and infrastructural development resulting in increased livelihoods. As of 2011, there are 323 suspected hazard areas of totalling 10,560,399 square meters that remain to be surveyed, cleared and released back to communities in the six central and southern provinces of Mozambique. The foreseen cost for completing demining operations between 2011 and 2014 is estimated at $21 million. Planned expenditures for 2011 are just under $8 million. Similar expenditure levels are planned for 2012 with a larger funding gap. The UNDP plans to provide strong assistance to the government in raising the remaining resources to completely close the 2011-2014 funding gap over the coming years.
