1.1 Introduction
Having
reached the
first milestone
2013, the
Lebanon Mine
Action Center
(LMAC), with
the support of
the United
Nations
Development
Programme
(UNDP),
decided to
implement a
mid-term
review for the
first strategy
tranche and
accordingly
adjust
milestones
2016 and
targets 2020
In September 2011, Lebanon issued its National Mine Action Strategy
for the period 2011-2020, which aimed at providing a framework
through which Lebanon could meet its obligations under the
Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM). The strategy was written in a
spirit of compliance with the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention,
commonly referred to as the Ottawa Treaty.
Lebanon Mine Action Strategy 2011-2020 presented a summary
framework with 5 outputs which tackled all aspects of mine action in
Lebanon and included two milestones 2013 and 2016 as well as target
indicators for 2020. Furthermore, it provided a summary of resources
needed to enable Lebanon to meet the set targets.
Having reached the first milestone 2013, the Lebanon Mine Action
Center (LMAC), with the support of the United Nations Development
Programme (UNDP), decided to implement a mid-term review for the
first strategy tranche and accordingly adjust milestones 2016 and
targets 2020. The review was conducted between January and March
2014 in consultation with key stakeholders, including the relevant
ministries, demining organizations, the Mine Victim Assistance (MVA)
Steering Committee, the Mine Risk Education (MRE) Steering
Committee, a sample of municipalities, the main donors, and key
partners.
1.2 Mine Action Structure in Lebanon
The Lebanon Mine Action Authority (LMAA), which is chaired by the
Minister of Defense, was established in 1998 by the Council of
Ministers and designated as the responsible party for the Lebanon
Mine Action Programme (LMAP). In 2007, the National Mine Action
UNDP new:Layout 1
8/18/14
9:31 AM
Page 5
Policy outlined the structure, roles, and responsibilities within the
LMAP. Accordingly, the Lebanon Mine Action Center (LMAC) was
designated as the responsible body to execute and coordinate the
LMAP on behalf of the LMAA.
1.3 Background
The Republic of Lebanon signed the Convention on Cluster Munitions
(CCM) on the 3rd of December 2008 and ratified it on the 5 th of
November 2010, becoming the first Middle Eastern State to be party
to the Convention. The Convention entered into force for Lebanon on
the 1st of May 2011, thus giving Lebanon a ten-year time frame to clear
cluster munitions.
Setting out its commitment to the CCM, in September 2011, Lebanon
launched its National Mine Action Strategy 2011-2020 at the Second
Meeting of State Parties (2MSP) to the CCM that it hosted in Beirut.
The meeting was organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and
Emigrants (MoFAE) in cooperation with the UNDP. It was attended by
representatives from 131 States and entities, and 60 national and
international organizations, which was an increase in the attendance
from the 1MSP (2010). Lebanon’s aspiration was to ensure that the
2MSP furthers the aims of the Convention and its universal
adherence to achieve everyone’s collective goal upholding the slogan
of “Together for a safer life”.
In line with the Convention’s requirements, Lebanon submitted its
first transparency report in April 2012 and its second report in April
2013. In September 2012, Lebanon handed over the presidency to
Norway in the 3MSP.

Mid-Term Review To Strategy 2011 - 2020
1.4 Main Developments 20112013
The years 2011-2013 were
marked
with
considerable
instability, political turmoil,
and
frequent
government
changes
characterized
by
intermittent vacuum which
consequently hindered the
activation
of
the
Interministerial
Advisory
Committee for the Lebanon
Mine
Action
Programme
(LMAP). The period was also
marked with an increase in the
intensity of the Syrian crisis,
leading to an increased influx
of Syrian refugees to Lebanon.
Despite these events, the
LMAP proceeded with its
operations according to its
strategy
and
within
the
resources
available.
The
limited resources influenced
the program’s ability to meet
all of the milestones set for
the year 2013. Nevertheless,
these two years were not
without
some
important
achievements.
Lebanon held the presidency of the CCM between September 2011
and September 2012 at which time it handed over the presidency to
Norway who hosted the 3MSP. Throughout its presidency, Lebanon
successfully promoted the universalization of the CCM in various
international and regional meetings. It continued to play an active
role through its participation in the 3MSP in Norway and the 4MSP
in Lusaka-Zambia.
Furthermore, during the period 2011-2013, Lebanon played an
important role in providing technical as well as operational advice to
Arabic speaking countries, in cooperation with Geneva International
Centre for Humanitarian Demining (GICHD). To better service the
region, and with advice from the French Army, Lebanon, initiated the
process to build a Regional School for Humanitarian Demining in
Lebanon (RSHDL) designed to provide state-of-the-art facilities.
UNDP new:Layout 1

Another major accomplishment that marked this period was the
reconvening of the International Support Group (ISG) meetings in
December 2011. The lack of ISG meetings since 2005 has hampered
dialogue with donors and resource mobilization efforts. To address
this, the LMAC reconvened the ISG in December 2011, where the
Strategy 2011-2020 along with the ISG newsletter were
disseminated.
In addition to the above, the LMAC continued to seek partnerships
and support to strengthen and expand its resources, technology,
and knowledge to achieve a mine impact-free country. Thus, in
November 2012, the Lebanese Ministry of Defense, represented by
the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) and the LMAC, signed a
Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with ITF Enhancing Human
Security. This MoU aims to enhance the humanitarian mine action/
UXO clearance in Lebanon by working to secure the necessary
funding for the Lebanon Mine Action Programme (LMAP).
Furthermore, among its aims, the MoU plans to help reduce the
socio-economic and environmental threat and impact of landmines,
UXO, and cluster munitions in Lebanon.
Furthermore, on the 24 th of
May 2013, the LMAC
celebrated the signature of
an MoU with the Beirut
Research and Innovation
Center (BRIC), marking the
launch of a partnership on
the latter’s Humanitarian
Demining
Research
Program. This research will
study the use of high
electromagnetic energy to
detect and conduct remote
detonation.
In January 2014, Lebanon
signed the “Convention on
Prohibitions
or
Restrictions on the Use of
Certain
Conventional
Weapons which May Be
Deemed to be Excessively
injurious
or
to Have
Indiscriminate
Effects
(CCW)”. The impact of this
signature is yet to be seen
in the upcoming period.
The limited
resources
influenced
the
program’s
ability to
meet all of
the
milestones
set for the
year 2013

2.1 Scope of the Problem
Lebanon’s mine/ explosive remnants of war (ERW) contamination
problem has accumulated over almost four decades, resulting from
internal conflicts and external aggressions and hostilities. The problem
can be divided into three phases:
● The 1975-1990 Civil War, including the 1978 and 1982 Israeli
occupations, during which the Lebanese territories were littered
with no less than 100,000 landmines and a large number of
unexploded ordnances.
● The Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon in 2000 after a 22-year
occupation, leaving more than 550,000 anti-personnel and antitank mines in the South and Western Bekaa.
● The July 2006 Israeli aggression on Lebanon in over 1,278
locations with more than 4 million cluster munitions,
contaminating approximately 54.9 square kilometers of land,
and affecting over 1 million people (nearly one third of the population).
In addition to political ramifications, this contamination problem has
had its social and economic repercussions on the country.

2.2 Socio-Economic Impact
The socio-economic development in Lebanon has been substantially
affected by mines, cluster munitions, and UXO contamination. The
estimated unexploded one million cluster munitions that resulted from
the 2006 aggression cause an ongoing indiscriminate threat to civilians,
deny access to agricultural land which is the primary source of economy
in the South and Bekaa valley, and remain a constant reminder of the
war. As at the 18th of May 2014, the confirmed Cluster Bomb Units (CBU)
strike locations totaled 1,707 locations covering an area of
approximately 57.8 km².
The socioeconomic
development in
Lebanon has
been
substantially
affected by
mines cluster
munitions, and
UXO
contamination
To deal with this problem and lessen the plight on the community, the
LMAC has developed a priority list according to the following criteria:
● Priority 1: Access road, infrastructure, water, electricity,
municipalities, schools, hospitals, houses, and gardens to allow
for the prompt return of the displaced population.
● Priority 2: Agriculture lands to allow for land investment.
● Priority 3: Uncultivated lands.
Land release for the first priority contaminated land was completed
between 2006 and 2009. Priority 2 is currently being tackled. Work on
priority 3 will commence once priority 2 has been completed.
Nevertheless, it is worthy to note that whenever an accident occurs in
any land or whenever a land becomes inhabited, it is automatically
shifted into priority one category to be dealt with immediately.

3.1 Mine Risk Education
Mine Risk Education (MRE) formed the first output in the Lebanon
Mine Action Strategy Framework 2011-2020; affected communities
enabled to better manage risks posed by mines. This output also
integrated Rapid Response as a preventive measure.
In general, this output has been partially achieved. Rapid response
activities proceeded as planned. However, planned MRE activities were
influenced by underfunding and the delay in the revision of the
Lebanese educational curriculum which affected the introduction of
Mine Risk Education (MRE) into school programs. Furthermore, a KAPB
survey was implemented to better target MRE messages to areas in
need. Future activities will be planned taking the results of the KAPB
survey into consideration.
In general,
this output
has been
partially
achieved.
Rapid
response
activities
proceeded as
planned
Rapid Response fell under the mandate of the Lebanese Armed Forces
(LAF). A telephone line was made available 24/7 and rapid response
was mobilized within few hours to report suspicious objects and
minimize the risk of accidents. The rapid response was coordinated by
the LMAC who dispatched army members at times and partner NGOs at
other times, depending on availability of response teams and their
proximity to the suspected area.
Relevant and updated information on the dangers of mines and cluster
munitions was made available to affected communities and residents
UNDP new:Layout 1
8/18/14
9:33 AM
Page 13
Milestone 2013
through several media between September 2011 and December 2013. A
national mine awareness campaign was launched and implemented in
April of each year for a period of one week, commemorating the
International Day of Mine Awareness and Assistance in Mine Action. In
general, awareness activities varied to include national television
spots, face-to-face interventions, and sports games. The activities were
supported by the Lebanese Army and the US Ministry of Defense and
included contributions from the UNDP, the United Nations International
Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF), and the private sector. Moreover,
MRE was implemented through:
● The provision of refresher training workshops to 667 NGO activists,
social workers, and health educators;
● The provision of MRE training to 326 NGO activists and 490 health
educators;
● The provision of mine risk education sessions to a total of 272
schools;
● The dissemination of mine risk education sessions to a total of
267,477 community members, including 125,120 children.
Beneficiaries were partially reached through an event organized
each year commemorating the International Day of Mine
Awareness and Assistance in Mine Action on the 4 th of April.
It is worthy to note that the above MRE activities were organized in
cooperation with members of
the MRE Steering Committee.
Furthermore,
health
educators and schools were
selected and accessed in
cooperation with the Ministry
of Education and Higher
Education (MoEHE).
Trials to integrate MRE
messages into the general
school curriculum have not
yet been achieved due to
underfunding and due to the
fact that the government is
currently reviewing the civics
book that will contain the
messages.
In addition to the planned
activities, and to ensure that
MRE messages are better
targeted,
a
Knowledge,
Attitude, Practices and Beliefs
(KAPB)
survey
was
implemented in 2013 involving
13

Mid-Term Review To Strategy 2011 - 2020
1675 community members to assess people’s knowledge about the
danger of mines. The survey reflected that only few of the
participants were able to recognize and define a mine. Nevertheless,
92.4% of the participants were able to identify that mines /cluster
munitions / UXOs could lead to death while 62.7% indicated that it
could cause disability.
3.2 Mine Victim Assistance
Mine Victim Assistance formed the second output in the Lebanon Mine
Action Strategy Framework 2011-2020; the full realization of the rights
of mine victims guaranteed.
This output was partially achieved affected by underfunding and
governmental changes which made advocating for implementation
mechanisms for Law 220/2000 impossible.
Till the end of
December
2013, some
victims
remained
without a
disability card
and remained
unaware of
the privileges
this card
granted them
Disability cards were issued by the
Ministry of Social Affairs (MoSA) to
all Lebanese disabled, including
mine victims. Whenever a victim
initiated
a
request,
MoSA
contacted the LMAC to coordinate
and affirm that the person
requesting the card is a victim.
However, no tracking system was
set to enable the tracking of
victims who remained without a
disability card. Till the end of
December 2013, some victims
remained without a disability card and remained unaware of the
privileges this card granted them. Accordingly, two actions have been
planned for the upcoming period:
● To coordinate with MoSA to ensure that all eligible victims are
granted a disability card. Noting that MoSA is represented on
the MVA Steering Committee, steps have been undertaken to
establish a coordination mechanism between MoSAand other
members of the Committee to ensure that all eligible victims are
granted a disability card by 2016. Meanwhile, mine victims were
made aware of their rights through consultation sessions
coordinated with the municipalities and members of the MVA
Steering Committee.
● To issue and distribute a booklet raising victim’s awareness on
their rights under the Law 220/2000 as a means to encourage
them to get the disability card and the services associated with
it. Terms of Reference (TOR) have already been prepared for the
design of this booklet, which is planned to be printed and
disseminated in 2014.

Milestone 2013
It is also worth mentioning that, to identify and support the good
practices already established by Victim Assistance providers and to
determine priorities and gaps in Victim Assistance in Lebanon,
Norwegian People’s Aid (NPA) implemented a needs assessment survey
during April 2012. Primary and secondary sources were used in addition
to interviews with key stakeholders including the LMAC, the MoSA, 7
Members of the MVA Steering Committee, and a sample of 11 victims.
Following the survey a workshop was facilitated for all members of the
MVA Steering Committee to discuss findings.
Elaborating on the results of this survey, a wider National Victim Needs
Assessment Survey sampling 690 victims was launched to concretely
assess, monitor, and prioritize victims’ needs. The survey results will be
released during the first half of 2014. Moreover, to facilitate update, a
software development process was initiated. The software will enable
the continuous tracking of victims’ needs.
As to services, emergency care and medical treatment continued to be
provided free of charge at all hospitals in Lebanon as per a
Governmental decree. Such provisions were handled by the Ministry of
Public Health (MPH).

The majority
of support
provided to
victims
during this
reporting
period
focused on
prosthesis.
Few victims
were
included in
socioeconomic
rehabilitation
programs
Depending on funding availability, the LMAC (with funding from the
United Nations Mine Action Service - UNMAS and the Lebanese
Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Emigration- MoFAE) and members of the
MVA Steering Committee provided some victims with medical, social,
psychological, and economic support as part of the fulfillment of their
full legal rights under the Law 220/2000 “Access and Rights of the
People with Disability”. The majority of support provided to victims
during this reporting period focused on prosthesis. Few victims were
included in socio-economic rehabilitation programs. Furthermore, some
victims were provided with equipment and mobility devices through an
in-kind contribution from the Republic of China. For the upcoming
period, projects have been drawn to increase socio-economic support.
In addition to the above, on the 4th of April 2013, the LMAC organized
an advocacy event for the ratification of the Convention on the Rights
of People with Disability (CRPD). A conference was held at the
Lebanese Parliament on the occasion of the International Day for Mine
Awareness and Assistance.
Mine victims attended the conference to share their experience and call
out for preventive measures to reduce the number of casualties
resulting from mine/Explosive Remnants of War (ERW) accidents. The
ceremony was held in cooperation with the Ministry of Defense, the
LMAC, the UNDP, and the EU. This event helped renew public and media
interest in mine action in addition to advocating for the Convention on
the Rights of People with Disability.

Milestone 2013
3.3 Clearance / Land Release
Clearance/ Land Release formed output 3 of the Lebanon Mine Action
Strategy Framework 2011-2020; mine action contributes to socioeconomic use through land release.
During 2011-2013, progress on this output was slow, influenced by
under-funding, the diminished number of operating teams, the
difficulty of work in the new areas, and the discovery of new
contaminated areas. Nevertheless, some progress was made as a result
of clearance, data refinement and update, land cancellation based on
non-technical surveys, and land reduction based on technical surveys.
In October 2011, the Lebanese
Armed Forces (LAF) initiated
phase 4 of the non-technical and
technical surveys of the Blue Line
Area. As a result, data was refined
and updated on the Information
Management System for Mine
Action (IMSMA) on a needs basis.
To ensure the accuracy of such
updates, non-technical surveys
for other Lebanese areas were
resumed on a needs basis as well.
Furthermore, a non-technical
(pre-clearance)
survey
was
initiated by the Mine Advisory
Group (MAG), with the approval of
the LMAC, and in cooperation
with the Peace Generations
Organization for Demining (POD).
The survey aims at updating data
on
the
remaining
cluster
munitions fields.
It is also worth mentioning that a
post-clearance
survey
was
implemented by the Lebanon
Demining Organization (LDO) in
2012,
funded
by
the
US
Department of State. The survey
aimed at compiling a knowledge
base of post-clearance impact
and lessons learned to support
future planning and provide an
overview on the socio-economic
impact of clearance activities. It
17
UNDP new:Layout 1

8/18/14
9:33 AM
Page 18
Mid-Term Review To Strategy 2011 - 2020
revealed that 80% of cleared land was used in agriculture, thus
enabling local community members to move back to their land and
use it to sustain a living. Following the LDO survey, all demining
organizations have been conducting post-clearance surveys of their
cleared targets to report on land use. However, these reports have
not been consolidated into one country-wide report.
Unfortunately, the percentages of fields cleared, released, and
returned to owners for socio-economic use is behind target due to
under-funding, the diminished number of operating teams, the
difficulty of work in the new
areas, and the discovery of new
contaminated areas. When the
strategy framework 2011-2020
was drafted, it was estimated that
30 teams would be available for
clearance of cluster munitions, 2
for clearance of UXOs and
nuisance mines. Moreover, 125
manual clearance teams, 2
mechanical teams, and 9 two-dog
teams were estimated to be
needed for mine clearance.
However, the current capacity is
24 cluster munitions clearance
teams, 9 mine clearance teams,
and 1 mechanical team. In
addition to the teams being
provided
by
Demining
Organizations, the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) are providing
engineering teams which are working on technical and non-technical
surveys, second asset (mechanical, manual, and dogs) as well as
rapid response, under the LMAC’s supervision. Furthermore, the
LMAC has two teams providing quality control and sampling. Within
such operational capacity, clearance of cluster munitions as planned
by 2016 is not feasible.
Despite the above, progress was made, though slow, as a result of
clearance activities, data refinement and update, land cancellation
based on non-technical surveys, and land reduction based on technical
surveys. Accordingly,
2
● 70.5% of 57,872,738 m of cluster munitions area was cleared
and 17,060,508 m2 remain to be cleared.
2
● 54,990,105 m of dangerous area were cancelled through nontechnical survey. The remaining area to be cleared is estimated
at 15,216,925 m2 constituting 34% of the impacted land size.
2
● 48% of 44,556,779 m of mine fields’ area (excluding the blue
line) was cleared and 23,067,621 m2 remain to be cleared.
2
● 24% of 9,520,103 m of Blue Line mine fields was cleared and
2
7,267,886 m remain to be cleared.

3.4 Advocacy
Advocacy was part of the 4th strategy output; compliance to and
promotion of the universalization of the CCM and other relevant
international instruments.
Output 4 was partially achieved, negatively influenced by underfunding as well as the governmental changes and intermittent vacuum.
Thus, the realization of the first tranche of the strategy was not
feasible. Adjustments have also been introduced to this output’s
activities based on discussions held within the Arabic Outreach
Program (AOP).
International assistance was received over the past two years, either in
cash or in kind, mainly through the European Union (EU), the UNICEF,
the Marshall Legacy Institute, the US Ministry of Defense, the UNMAS,
the UNDP, and the French army. The assistance targeted the needs of
victims as well as the capacity building of the national program.
However, funding and support received were less than anticipated, and
thus the implementation of the first tranche of the strategy was not
fully enabled.
The Inter-ministerial Advisory Committee was established by a
Government decree in 2007. However, due to the Governmental
paralysis over the past two years, the intermittent vacuum, and the
instability of the overall political situation, the Inter-ministerial
Advisory Committee could not be activated. As a result, no costing was

made of services provided by the
related ministries concerning MVA,
MRE,
or
socio-economic

due to the same reasons, no
International Support Group (ISG)
meetings were organized.
Between September 2011 and
December 2013, the International
Support
Group
(ISG)
was
successfully re-activated and met
3 times. Furthermore, as outlined
in the National Mine Action Policy,
an over-arching mechanism for
managing
financial
resources
allocated to management services
was deployed by the LMAC.
Concurrently, no revision to the
Mine Action Policy was deemed
needed. However, to ensure transparency with donors and that
obligations are met, the LMAC initiated a mid-term strategy review to
check on progress and report on achievements and gaps perceived till
the end of 2013.
To support the
Near and
Middle East
countries
affected by
landmines and
cluster
munitions,
offering
military and
civilian
attendees
training in the
Arabic
language in the
framework of
humanitarian
demining
program
Needs assessment for capacity building needs of state parties was
conducted through the Arabic Outreach Programme (AOP) which
discussed the needs and priorities of Arabic speaking countries in two
workshops; one in Dubai (November 2012) and one in Kuwait
(December 2013). Based on jointly assessed needs and priorities, the
regional workshop on prosthetic development was cancelled.
Nevertheless, Information Management training was organized as
planned in December 2012 in Arabic for the benefit of 6 Arab
countries. Furthermore, Lebanon provided technical as well as
operational advice to Arabic speaking countries, in cooperation with
Geneva International Centre for Humanitarian Demining (GICHD).
Jordan, Yemen, Sudan, Iraq, and Libya have benefited from capacity
building and exchange of experience initiatives run by Lebanon. Based
on assessed needs, and with advice from the French Army, Lebanon,
initiated the process to build a Regional School for Humanitarian
Demining in Lebanon (RSHDL) that would provide state-of-the-art
facilities and service the region. The school has set the following
mission: “To support the Near and Middle East countries affected by
landmines and cluster munitions, offering military and civilian
attendees training in the Arabic language in the framework of
humanitarian demining program”. In addition to humanitarian
demining courses, the school will provide training related to mine
action management, in coordination with the GICHD.

Milestone 2013
To ensure that the LMAC’s capacity building initiatives remain aligned
to assessed needs, a capacity building plan was developed by the UNDP
on which a three-year project was built covering 2013-2015 within the
EU supported project “Support to the Lebanon Mine Action
Programme-Phase III”. This plan will be updated in the second strategy
tranche. Within the framework of this plan, Lebanon was supported to
participate in a number of regional and international workshops and
conferences, including two regional workshops for the Arab Outreach
Programme, a regional training course on Land Release and
Operational Efficiency, a training course on Geodetic Measurements in
Humanitarian Mine Action, and a course on Quality Management.
Furthermore, Lebanon was supported to participate in one intersessional meeting and one conference for the CCM as well as one intersessional meeting and one conference for the Ottawa Treaty annually.
Lebanon hosted the 2MSP in September 2011 and acted as the
president of the CCM until September 2012 when it handed the
presidency to Norway. Throughout Lebanon’s Presidency, Lebanon
promoted the universalization of the CCM in various international and
regional meetings. In April 2012, Lebanon convened an Inter-sessional
Meeting that witnessed the participation of 346 delegates from 45
States Parties, 22 signatories, 12 non-party States, and 23
Organizations. States not yet party to the Convention were encouraged
to take all necessary steps to ratify or otherwise accede to the
21

Page 22
Convention. To systematically follow-up on the implementation of the
CCM, the Government of Lebanon, through the Ministry of Defense,
assigned the LMAC as the focal point. So far, coordination among the
ministries has not been effectively systematized due to governmental
changes. The LMAC will exert efforts to address this within the second
tranche of the strategy.
In line with the requirements of the CCM, Lebanon issued and
submitted annual transparency reports on time.
3.5 Sustainability of LMAP
In addition to focusing on the four pillars, the Lebanon Mine Action
Strategy 2011-2020 presented a fifth output focused on establishing a
sustainable capacity to manage residual risks.
Output 5 was partially achieved, negatively influenced by underfunding as well as the governmental changes and intermittent vacuum.
Based on the
above, the
exit strategy
for
international
support has
not yet been
developed
Adequate structure to manage mine action at programme
implementation level is in place. However, this structure is not yet selfsustainable. Furthermore, at the inter-ministerial level, the structure is
not yet in place due to the political events that took place in the
country over the past two years.
Based on the above, the exit strategy for international support has not
yet been developed.

Milestone 2013
4.5 Challenges and Assumptions
In planning towards reaching milestones 2016 and targets 2020, this midterm review document forwards a set of assumptions, including:
● The overall political situation becomes relatively stable in Lebanon to
enable full operation in all areas;
● No additional contamination takes place;
● No new mine and cluster munitions targets are discovered;
● Adequate resources are secured and sufficient teams are made
available to enable full operation and to reach a “Lebanon free of the
impact of landmines, cluster munitions, unexploded ordnance, and all
explosive remnants of war”;
● All relevant ministries remain interested to cooperate for the
realization of all pillars of the Lebanon Mine Action Programme, and
the coordination mechanism among ministries is activated;
● The
Government of Lebanon allocates resources to the
implementation and monitoring of Law 220/2000;
● The private sector remains willing to participate in and support the
Mine Action Programme;
● Resources are secured to survey all victims and advocate victims’
rights. Concurrently, victims cooperate in providing a realistic
reflection of their needs and priorities;
● No new accidents result in additional
victims;
● International training, exchanges, and
conferences remain available and the
international
situation
remains
conductive to the universalization of
the CCM and the Ottawa Treaty;
● Adequate funding is made available for
other affected States’ mine action
personnel, thus enabling Lebanon to
cooperate with them on the provision
of technical assistance for the
implementation of the obligations
referred to in Article 5 (victim
assistance) and article 4 (clearance,
mine risk education).
4.6
Lessons
Learned
Recommendations
and
Key
From the above, it is evident that Strategy
2011-2020 remains pertinent to priorities
identified under international conventions of
which Lebanon has become a signatory.
Although Lebanon was unable to meet all of
the milestones set in the first strategy tranche,
the progress made is remarkable taking into
25
UNDP new:Layout 1

8/18/14
9:34 AM
Page 26
Mid-Term Review To Strategy 2011 - 2020
account the current constraints, especially the financial constraints and the
governmental changes that took place during the past two years. Lessons
learned during the first strategy tranche include the following:
● Dividing the Strategy 2011-2020 into milestones and targets has
facilitated the Mid-term Review process. However, in some
instances, the milestones set were over-ambitious and did not
explicitly draft a scenario that accounted for underfunding. Thus,
one of the aims of this review was to make-up for this shortcoming through proposing two frameworks; one reflecting
forecasted progress with the current funding level and another
forecasting progress if funding is secured matching the needs.
● Maintaining annual work-plans, reports, and documentations
facilitates internal monitoring as well as external evaluations. Such
documentations ensure smooth progress even when responsible
officers change.
● Investing in capacity building, promoting local ownership, and
building local partnerships ensure sustainability. This has been
attained through cooperation with the steering committees,
through the involvement of municipalities, and through building
associations with the private sector under the Corporate Social
Responsibility programs.
UNDP new:Layout 1
8/18/14
9:35 AM
Page 27
Milestone 2013
Nonetheless, in light of the review
conducted,
the
following
recommendations are forwarded:
● To plan for another mid-term
review for the period 20142016. Such a review would
ensure that targets 2020 are
realistically updated.
● To
increase international
support
for
clearance
operations, enabling Lebanon
to meet its targets.
● To
increase documentation
efforts, especially video and
photo documentations that
reflect on the socio-economic
impact. Along the same lines,
to consolidate post-clearance
surveys into one country-wide
report that would focus more
on livelihood and the socioeconomic impact of clearance
activities.
● To
activate
coordination
mechanisms with all related
ministries,
including
the
Ministry of Social Affairs
(MoSA), the Ministry of Public
Health (MoPH), the Ministry of
Labor (MoL), and the Ministry of Education and Higher Education
(MoEHE). The needs of survivors are long-term, and although
various NGOs are working to provide assistance, ideally disability
issues should be dealt with within the mandate of the National
Government Ministries. Thus, activating an inter-ministerial
committee is a requisite for efficient operations and sustainability
of actions.
● To build on the already available networking platforms by opening
up memberships to the steering committees and increasing the
frequency of meetings.
● To
secure support for the participation of civil society
representatives in related international platforms.
● To complement the National Victim Needs Assessment Survey
that sampled 690 victims to ensure that all victims’ needs are
mapped and accounted for. Within mapped priorities, it is
recommended to increase socio-economic initiatives for victims,
thus promoting sustainable self-dependence.
● To commemorate the International Day of Persons with Disabilities
on the 3rd of December of each year to further promote the right
of victims as disabled under the Law 220/2000.

results will be released during the first half of 2014. Moreover, a software
development process was initiated to track, update, and prioritize
victims’ needs.
● Emergency care and medical treatment were provided free of charge at
all hospitals in Lebanon as per a governmental decree.
● Mine victims were made aware of their rights through consultation
sessions coordinated with the municipalities and members of the MVA
Steering Committee.
● An advocacy event for the ratification of the Convention on the Rights of
People with Disability (CRPD) was organized with the participation of
mine victims.
This milestone has been partially achieved.
● Depending on funding availability, the LMAC (with support from the
UNMAS and the MoFAE) and members of the MVA Steering Committee
provided mine victim support services, the greatest of which was the
provision of prosthesis. Few victims were included in socio-economic
rehabilitation programs. Some victims were also provided with mobility
devices through an in-kind donation from the Republic of China. Projects
have been drawn to increase socio-economic rehabilitation support for
the upcoming cycle. A software development process has been initiated
to track, update, and prioritize victims’ needs, thus enabling the mapping
of victims included in socio-economic rehabilitation.
