The project was launched in October 2012 to advance CRPD implementation through a multipronged strategy involving both right holders and duty bearers.

Recognizing the specific circumstances of the country’s estimated 20,000 landmine survivors, an additional component was included in the project that focused on supporting the development of a National Action Plan on Victims Assistance.
