• The Cluster Munitions Coalition (CMC)

• The International Disability Alliance (IDA)

At national level :

In Afghanistan, Handicap International proposes a comprehensive approach to victim assistance, working to rally governmental bodies, major service providers, associations of mine/ERW survivors and people with disabilities, and mine/ERW affected communities to meet the overwhelming short-term victim assistance needs. To address national ownership and local capacity, there is the need to mobilize, coordinate, capacitate and empower government, mine/ERW survivors and DPOs to plan, implement, monitor and evaluate victim assistance at different levels. On this regard, the relevant institutions have been identified.
