<p>DFID does not fund individual victim assistant programmes, as set out in the UK’s
mine action policy. Support and assistance to victims of landmines and improvised
explosive devices (ERW) is best provided through broader social and economic development
programmes in affected countries, rather than through targeting particular groups.</p><p><a

has committed £100million over three years to reduce the impact of landmines and ERW
on communities through programmes that survey and clear land; provide mine risk education
to help communities to understand the dangers of abandoned mines and ERW; and help
governments manage their own landmine and ERW contamination more efficiently.</p>
