The overall objective of the evaluation exercise is to provide systematic and objective assessments of EC-funded mine actions and to generate credible and useful lessons for decision makers,allowing them to improve the planning and management of existing and future mine action projects, programmes, and policies. The regional studies comprised an assessment of the relevance of EC-funded mine activities, an analysis of the allocation of funds among mine affected states, and an assessment of the effectiveness of EU-funded mine action support. The evaluation teams looked into coordination among the Commission and other agencies supporting mine action, assessed the impact of deconcentration and the potential impact of the end of specific budget line for anti-personnel landmines.
Each team made recommendations to improve the identification, definition, implementation, and impact of EC-funded mine projects, and to enhance the opportunities for cross-fertilisation among mine action programmes in the regions and globally.This report summarizes the findings from the six regional studies and draws common conclusions and recommendations.
