Summary of responses to questionnaires on integrated approach of VA
THANK YOU for sending back the questionnaire. We do realize that there were no easy questions and probably far from the current priorities in affected states that are still under conflicts.
Diversity in responses
Cross-checked with previous researches by the ISU or the Landmine monitor, or
Cross-checked with national VA action plans and a few Working groups ToR, that provide indication the approach they take

Donor States
Affected Sates
All have a right-based approach but not all translate into practice
Guidelines on disability inclusion
Disability inclusive strategies
No clear evidence of measures for equitable access
No clear evidence of inclusion of indirect victims, apart of community-based approach
Some collaborations but no evidence that responsibilities have been fully transferred to key ministries. Low capacities sometimes.
Commitments & initiatives disability- inclusive policies (CRPD) No clear evidence of measures for equitable access
No report about indirect victims
Little use of SDGs and WB/WHO report on disability

4. Monitoring
Donor States
Affected Sates
Key concern
Requirements and guidelines but very few on disaggregated data
No evidence that monitoring tracks impact on victims (quality of life)
Recognized as a challenge (capacities, funding)
Untracked records from broader sectors

6. 5. Coordination and awareness raising
Permanent Mission of Iraq
5. Coordination and awareness raising
Donor States
Affected States
No evidence of clear mechanisms for coordination across sectors (Mine action & development departments)
A few initiatives to train coworkers on VA and disability
A few initiatives on focal points
Well established coordination bodies
Several initiatives (from MACs) on alliance building & participation of survivors and other persons with disabilities
Focal point is effective but focus on disability (not VA); lack capacities and support
