3 What is DFID mine action trying to achieve. what are the intended security, humanitarian and development outcomes?

4 What is DFID mine action trying to achieve. what are the intended security, humanitarian and development outcomes? How can DFID s mine action projects best achieve these intended outcomes?

5 What is DFID mine action trying to achieve. what are the intended security, humanitarian and development outcomes? How can DFID s mine action projects best achieve these intended outcomes? The three main themes of the policy: (1) Value for Money; (2) Innovation; and (3) Understanding the context and assumptions of each project.

6 Agenda What is the Theory of Change? How is it being used in mine action by DFID? What are the lessons learned?

7 What is a theory?

8 What is a theory? Theory of evolution

9 What is a theory? Theory of evolution Theory of relativity

10 What is a theory? Theory of evolution Theory of relativity Big Bang theory

11 What is a theory? Theory of evolution Theory of relativity Big Bang theory Theory of everything

12 What is a theory?

13 What is a theory?.. a system of ideas, procedures and assumptions used to produce a result Oxford English Dictionary

14 What is change?

15 What is change? In the context of development, change refers to the long term intended outcomes and impact of a development programme e.g. eradicating extreme hunger and poverty

16 So the Theory of Change is.. a system of ideas, procedures and assumptions used to produce a long term development outcome

17 So the Theory of Change is.. a system of ideas, procedures and assumptions used to produce a long term development outcome For DFID mine action, the Theory of Change is.. a logical and transparent system of ideas, mine action activities and explicit assumptions which aim to achieve DFID s mine action goals

18 Mine action theory Inputs Processes (Activities) Output(s) Outcome i.e. Change Mine risk education Non-technical survey Technical survey Clearance Formal handover of cleared land Update IMSMA records

19 Mine action theory Inputs Processes (Activities) Output(s) Outcome i.e. Change Cleared land Communities briefed that land is safe to use Signed handover of documents Updated records in IMSMA Development partner(s) briefed & engaged

20 Mine action theory Inputs Processes (Activities) Output(s) Outcome i.e. Change Cleared land used productively Reduced fear of harm to communities National / local authorities take responsibility for cleared land

21 The real world.

22 The real world. Activities Survey & clearance Outputs Land declared safe through survey & clearance Outcomes (i.e. Change) Impacted communities feel safer, leading to increased well-being Mine Risk Education Coordination between MACC, IPs & development partners Communities aware of risks from mines & ERW Mine action enables follow-on development activities Measurable progress towards Ottawa Treaty compliance, reducing human suffering Former contaminated land used productively by impacted communities, leading to improved livelihoods Impacted communities have increased access to basic services provided by national/ provincial authorities or NGOs

23 The real world. Activities Survey & clearance Outputs Land declared safe through survey & clearance Outcomes (i.e. Change) Impacted communities feel safer, leading to increased well-being Mine Risk Education Coordination between MACC, IPs & development partners Communities aware of risks from mines & ERW Mine action enables follow-on development activities Measurable progress towards Ottawa Treaty compliance, reducing human suffering Former contaminated land used productively by impacted communities, leading to improved livelihoods Impacted communities have increased access to basic services provided by national/ provincial authorities or NGOs

26 Understanding the context

27 Understanding the context Programmes and projects must fit the national and local context

28 Understanding the context Programmes and projects must fit the national and local context Context: e.g. the security situation, political will, socioeconomic needs, terrain and weather, ethnic, tribal and religious differences must be analysed and their impact and influence on the programme or project must be understood by the contractor

29 Understanding the context Programmes and projects must fit the national and local context Context: e.g. the security situation, political will, socioeconomic needs, terrain and weather, ethnic, tribal and religious differences must be analysed and their impact and influence on the programme or project must be understood by the contractor Having analysed each factor, the contractor must record his/her conclusion in the form of an assumption

30 Examples of explicit assumptions

31 Examples of explicit assumptions The security situation will remain favourable for the duration of the project.

32 Examples of explicit assumptions The security situation will remain favourable for the duration of the project. Cleared land will not be captured / grabbed by powerful groups.

33 Examples of explicit assumptions The security situation will remain favourable for the duration of the project. Cleared land will not be captured / grabbed by powerful groups. Separate funding will be provided for follow-on development projects.

34 Risk assessment For each assumption, the designer should then analyse the risk of the assumption not happening.

35 Risk assessment For each assumption, the designer should then analyse the risk of the assumption not happening. This should take the form of a formal risk assessment; i.e. (1) What is the likelihood of an assumption not happening? (2) What would be the impact of an assumption not happening? (3) How can the likelihood be reduced? (4) How can the impact be mitigated?

36 A quick review.
