Angola

CNIDAH Support Project

Brief Description:

The duration of this project, conducted in partnership between the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and CNIDAH, is 18 months. The overall objective of the project is the strengthening of the capacity of the Angolan government to assure the security and access of the population to mine-infested areas.

The specific objective is to train CNIDAH to perform its role as spelt out in the 2006-2011 Strategic Mine Action Plan, through technical assistance and training. Thus, the project target groups are CNIDAH managers and employees. The end beneficiaries are the populations affected by the existence of mines laid in their areas of residence and economic and social activity.

The major output of this project is that CNIDAH and its employees are trained to effectively and efficiently perform their role as per the 2006-2011 Strategic Mine Action Plan.

In order to achieve this output, technical assistance and training activities will be carried out at the national and provincial levels in the fields of management, planning, quality control and mines data management.

Expected results:

• CNIDAH is transformed into an agile and competent organization, with clear and shared duties and with adequate internal administration and human and financial resources management practices;
• CNIDAH is trained to prepare, each year, a National Mine Action Workplan according to required standards and specificity, in compliance with international standards;
• Quality Monitoring is done in accordance with international standards;
• The different officials that coordinate the mine action sector at the provincial level are trained to perform their duties to the Provincial governments and CNIDAH;
• CNIDAH is trained to collect, process, produce, analyze and disseminate reliable data on mined and demined areas, as well as on mine incidents and victims and their medical treatment and social reintegration, as well as to disseminate information obtained to partners.
