Die EU widmet sich im Rahmen ihrer Entwicklungszusammenarbeit zunehmend den Herausforderungen, die sich aus fragilen und krisenhaften Situationen ergeben. Dieser Trend spiegelt sich nicht nur im Hinblick auf eine sehr umfangreiche Finanzierung, sondern auch in der Ausrichtung der jüngsten EU-Entwicklungspolitik wider.

          The document focuses on the extent to which the Resilience Systems Analysis added value in improving analysis, strategy and programming and in supporting the achievement of Sweden’s post-2015 commitments. It also assesses the extent to which the framework complements other tools and approaches within Sida and the extent to which the methodology itself is ‘fit for purpose’.

              The European Union has a long history of support to mine action, even before the Ottawa Convention was adopted in 1997. In fact, the EU was among the first to condemn the indiscriminate character of anti-personnel landmines and to recognise the unbearable suffering they impose on civil populations. About one third of EU support for mine action is provided through the Commission's Instrument contributing to Stability and Peace (IcSP). This brochure covers support funded by the EU- Institutions. Through diplomatic and financial support initiatives, the European Union will continue to be one of the leading actors in making the world free of mines.
