On 1 April 2021, the National Committee for Demining and Rehabilitation (NCDR) and the Geneva International Centre for Humanitarian Demining (GICHD) hosted a launch event webinar for ''The Sustainable Development Outcomes of Mine Action in Jordan'' study.
The study ''The Sustainable Development Outcomes of Mine Action in Jordan'' maps the impact of land release, victim assistance, explosive ordnance risk education, gender mainstreaming, as well as partnerships and cooperation on sustainable development. It shows that mine action has clearly contributed to the five dimensions of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in Jordan: partnership, peace, people, planet, and prosperity.
