The Office of Emergency Programmes, UNICEF, New York undertook the task of developing the following International Guidelines in order to promote the effective planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of mine awareness programmes. It is to be hoped that these Guidelines, with the collective experience of individuals with recognised expertise, can serve as a reliable point of reference for people involved in mine awareness programmes.
Section Three on Programme Planning contained in the International Guidelines owes much to the paper on materials, media and messages written for Rädda Barnen (Swedish Save the Children) by Tim Grant.
