The strategic objective of GMAP3 multi-country programme is to release land and conduct Explosive Ordnance Risk Education (EORE) that supports humanitarian emergency response and vulnerable communities.

The GMAP3 contract in multiple countries will be designed and implemented to achieve all five outcomes of the GMAP3 Theory of Change (ToC):

  • Outcome 1: Measurable progress towards Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention (APMBC), Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM) and Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons (CCW) treaty compliance and universalisation.
  • Outcome 2: Responsive and equitable nationally owned mine action through improved governance and with increased local implementation.
  • Outcome 3: Mine action integrated or sequenced with humanitarian / development / peacebuilding or stabilisation initiatives.
  • Outcome 4: Safe and productive land use improves livelihoods and basic services, improving the quality of life and the environment.
  • Outcome 5: Risk of harm reduced which increases returns and the freedom of movement.

The GMAP3 contract in multiple countries will be designed and implemented to achieve the following five outputs of the GMAP3 Theory of Change (ToC):

  • Output 1: Land has been released for safe and productive use.
  • Output 2: Increased awareness of the risk of harm from explosive ordnance.
  • Output 3: Increased collaboration with humanitarian, peace, stabilisation, development and environmental actors.
  • Output 4: Enhanced capacity of national authorities.
  • Output 5: Enhanced capacity of local implementers, i.e. enhanced operational and management procedures, skills and systems of local IPs, leading to increased local implementation.

The services under the Global Mine Action Programme 3 (GMAP3) will be delivered in the following countries: Angola, Cambodia, Ethiopia (border with Somalia only), Laos, Myanmar, Somalia, South Sudan, and Zimbabwe.

Contract period: 1 Nov 2023 – 31 Mar 2025 (1 yr 5 mo)
