Strengthening Animal Detection of Explosive Ordnance: from Standards to Impact for Communities
This side event will explore how advances in standards, technology and training are improving the efficiency of animal detection of explosive ordnance and supporting their integration into national mine action programmes - and why this matters for more efficient land release and secure communities. It will highlight practical field results and connect these to recent developments in guidance and capacity. The session aims to bridge policy and practice, and is intended for national authorities, operators, donors, technical specialists, and others interested in leveraging animal detection for impact.
