16:30-18:00: Technical workshop Cooperation and Assistance

Objectives of the workshop:
– To gain a better understanding of the policies, approaches and best practices of donors towards the future funding of stockpile destruction and victim assistance in a long term perspective.
– To identify other channels (other than the traditional mine action funding channels) available and being utilized to support victim assistance, including triangular and south-south cooperation.
– To gain a better understanding on how donor governments could ensure that they approach victim assistance from a broad and long term perspective (i.e. medical care through to economic inclusion and social reintegration).
