Mapping and evaluating gender and diversity-sensitive data collection approaches in the mine action sector

objectives.

To map and analyse current data collection, storage, sharing, and reporting practices in the Explosive Ordnance Risk Reduction sector, focusing on gender and diversity sensitivity and intersectionality.

To assess the feasibility and effectiveness of these approaches in the Explosive Ordnance Risk Reduction sector, including their alignment with the Do No Harm principle.

To provide recommendations for improving gender, diversity, and intersectionality considerations in data management within the Explosive Ordnance Risk Reduction sector.

✓ Conflict sensitivity was crucial to this research, emphasising humanitarian and development assistance delivery while considering the broader operational context. This involved minimising any unintended negative impact and capitalising on locally-led solutions to maximise the positive outcomes of interventions.

methodology.

The research was conducted globally, with specific case studies in Cambodia, Colombia, and Iraq. The methodology comprised desk reviews, context analyses, key informant interviews, focus group discussions, and peer-learning sessions with diverse stakeholder groups, including governments and national and international Mine Action actors.
