HALO Trust – Impact Assessments of Abandoned Improvised Mines (AIM) & Anti-Vehicle Mines (AVM) in Afghanistan

April 2021

Abandoned Improvised Mines (AIM) have caused over half of all landmine/explosive remnants of war (ERW) civilian casualties in Afghanistan in the last 5 years, killing thousands . Anti-Vehicle Mines (AVM) comprise over half of the remaining suspected and confirmed hazardous areas in the country. The HALO Trust is the major clearance organisation for both types of landmines. The impact assessments were based on primary research directly with communities affected by AVM and AIM and their subsequent survey and clearance.

COVID-19 has thrown research under the global spotlight and there is an almost unprecedented demand for monitoring and data analysis. The need for evidence-based humanitarian decision-making and prioritisation is great. We must ensure that research and aid are not blinkered and keep the world’s most vulnerable populations in mind.

Our industry is grappling with the best ways to create, capture and evaluate impact – not least because funding is increasingly tied to measuring it. This short report explores what 'impact' means in the context of research into migration and displacement.

It highlights some of our most impactful projects from the last ten years; touches on the ways that COVID-19 has changed research; nods to partnerships that have helped us to make a difference; and features some fascinating Q&As on what impact means to various experts.
