  1. Developing and maintaining a clearance plan including determining priorities Mr Tim Horner Mine Action Advisor, Bureau for Crisis Prevention and Recovery, UNDP New York March 2013 Addis Abbba March 2013

  2. What is prioritisation? Prioritisation is a decision making process to identify what receives recourses It needs: Decisions being made by the right people in the right places Information Implementation

  3. Why prioritise? Prioritise to optimize effectiveness To harmonise political direction, operational issues and technical parameters To create a complementary structure • High level political plans • Operational and technical plans at all levels • Cllear criteria and indicators

  5. Bottom up? High level National Plans National Mine Action Strategy <What are national priorities <What are provincial priorities <Town priorities <Village priorities <Household priorities

  6. High level plans • Are strategic in nature • Usually inter-ministerial • Follow greater development plans for the country.  • Not task specific • Deal with broad priorities.

  7. A National Mine Action Strategy Context • What is the post conflict position • Emergency • Stabalisation • Humanitarian • Development

  8. A National Mine Action Strategy Must: • Fit in with National Plans • Comply with international legal obligations • Be built on realistic aims, objectives and timing • Give broad direction and criteria for a national priority list (clearance and other activities)

  9. For example • PRIORITY I: Agricultural tasks, roving tasks, public service utilities (medical/public health, water points, etc.), educational facilities. • PRIORITY II: Grazing land and forested areas, communal facilities (religious/cultural sites, markets, recreational areas, etc.), Government facilities and offices. • PRIORITY III: Public infrastructure work, communal “profit-making” areas, tourism sites, commercial/private business sites.

  10. For example • Humanitarian UXO/mine clearance operations will focus strictly on Priorities I and II, with a marked preference for Priority I tasks. • Few, if any, of Priority III tasks will be addressed in the context of this plan by operators funded through humanitarian assistance programmes. These will be dealt primarily by commercial operators.

  11. How to implement the strategy Operationally focused Work-plans Priorities based on strategic criteria and principles Driven from the bottom up Measureable and monitored top down

  12. Review and Revise for Relevance A good prioritisation is an agreed national system that works both top-down and bottom up It is an ongoing cycle to remain relevant and realistic
