Additional support to the ICBL 2008 (cluster munitions & regional conferences)



Contract partner: ICBL - International Campaign to Ban Landmines Country: Entwicklungsländer, unspezifisch Funding amount: € 25.000,00 Project start: 01.01.2008 End: 31.12.2008

Short Description:

Overall goal


Through its advocacy activities, the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL)

aims at stopping further casualties due to explosive remnants of war (ERW), particularly

antipersonnel landmines and cluster munitions. ICBL does so by

working on the universalization of the convention banning antipersonnel

landmines, its implementation by States Parties and by ensuring the

signature, on 3 December 2008, by a maximum number of countries of the

new Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM), adopted in Dublin on 30

May 2008, as well as its rapid entry into force.


ICBL circulated a first funding proposal earlier this year, to which the Austrian Development Cooperation has already contributed ¿ 40 000. With new, and larger, events being now planned, particularly some regional conferences linked to the new Convention on Cluster

Munitions, and by its presence in Geneva, ICBL has now submitted an additional funding request

of ¿ 25 000.


Expenses covered under that funding relate to specific advocacy initiatives carried out by the ICBL

Advocacy Advisor and Advocacy officer in Geneva, and by their

participation in regional conferences in Uganda, Bulgaria, and Thailand.

    • 1= policy is a significant objective of the activity
    • 2= policy is the principal objective of the activity
  • Donor/ source of funding: The ADA is not only implementing projects and programmes of the Austrian Development Cooperation , but also projects funded from other sources and donors such as
    • AKF - Foreign Disaster Fund of the Austrian federal government
    • BMLFUW - Federal Ministry for Agriculture, Forestry, Environment and Water
    • EU - Funds of the European Commission
    • Others - various other donors are listed in ADA’s annual business report.
  • Type of Aid – Aid modalities: classifies transfers from the donor to the first recipient of funds such as budget support, core contributions and pooled programmes and funds to CSOs and multilateral organisations, project-type interventions, experts and other technical assistance, scholarships and student costs in donor countries, debt relief, administrative costs and other in-donor expenditures.
  • Purpose/ sector code: classifies the specific area of the recipient’s economic or social structure, funded by a bilateral contribution.
  • Tied/Untied: Untied aid is defined as loans and grants whose proceeds are fully and freely available to finance procurement from all OECD countries and substantially all developing countries. Transactions are considered tied unless the donor has, at the time of the aid offer, clearly specified a range of countries eligible for procurement which meets the tests for “untied” aid.
