Description
This is a request for funding by Geneva Call to help it engage Non-State Actors in Asia-Pacific countries to reduce the threat and socioeconomic impact of landmines.
In a three-year project (April 2011 to March 2014), Geneva Call proposes to advocate, build local capacity, and monitor and conduct assessments to further advance the anti-personnel (AP) mine ban and enable humanitarian mine action to reach affected communities in Non-State Actor areas.
'Non-State Actors' are 'organised armed entities that are primarily motivated by political goals, operate outside effective State control, and lack the legal capacity to become party to relevant international treaties'.
Geneva Call describes itself as 'a neutral and impartial, international humanitarian organisation launched in March 2000 to engage Non-State Actors in the compliance of international humanitarian norms'.
Geneva Call supplied two documents in support of its request for funds:
a Statement of financial position at December 31 2010, and Annual Report 2010.
