How can you make a difference?

The main purpose of this independent (non-experiential) evaluation will be both formative and summative. The evaluation will assess the impact of the CMAA-s work in MRE as well as identify lessons to support the implementation of the NMAS. This evaluation will be a good opportunity to analyse progress against the NMAS planned results for 2013-2018, with a view to strengthen the impact and effectiveness of MRE operations, while adjusting the different MRE components to reflect the current landmine/UXO situation and country-s development as laid out in the NMAS 2018-2025…

Review what types of MRE are most suitable and most effective in various contexts in Cambodia;
Assess the support provided by national entities for MRE integration and provide recommendations for the MRE sector in developing and implementing an MRE transition plan to promote national ownership, greater accountability and long-term sustainability;
Assess specific approach(es) to MRE for children under 18 years and the effectiveness of that approach, specifically on the knowledge and behaviour of children and the impact on numbers of injuries and deaths of under 18 years; and
Document lessons learned, good practices and innovations that can inform the review of current and future MRE strategies.
