The Mine
Action Information Center at James Madison University has
released the Landmine Casualty Data: Best Practices Guidebook,
which is designed as a reference tool to assist people trying
either to create a mine/ERW victim information system or enhance
an existing system. Published through a grant from the Office
of Weapons Removal and Abatement in the U.S. Department of
State's Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, the Guidebook
reports on advances being made in casualty data collection and
management and offers lessons learned that countries can reflect
upon as they undertake the challenging task of building mine/ERW
victim information systems.
This 75-page Guidebook integrates a large volume of information emanating from a number of different sources and presents detailed case studies, recommended best practices, lessons learned, and contacts and resources for victim assistance information management and program planning.
The Guidebook is available at no cost in Adobe PDF format. A low resolution version can be downloaded below or a high resolution version on CD is available upon request.
