00Programa y métodos
The course is intended to equip mine action officials, practitioners and donors, with practical RBM skills, tools and methods to manage mine action programmes for better results and improved quality. Participants will learn about the application of Result-based methodologies across the different components of mine action, from the design of national mine action strategies to the development of Quality (QM) and Information Management (IM) systems.
RBM provides a framework to define and measure the impact, efficiency, relevance and effectiveness of mine action programmes. Unless progress can be measured, there is no way to be sure that a project is advancing towards its objectives. In this light, the course will also underscore the linkages between the application of RBM principles and the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
