The EC has during the last 10 years provided € 6.5 million to the UXO sector in Laos, in co financing activities with international NGOs and local authorities, with projects running until end 2012.
the current Leo-EC Country Strategy Paper 2007-2013 mentions UXO threats as one of the major constraints of the country. Addressing this, the Multi-Indicative Program 2011-2013 commits to Euro-3-4 million to the UXO sector as part of the non focal area which supports sustainable development in the uplands and rural poverty reduction.
The identification mission for the above-mentioned support was carried out by the EU Delegation to Laos during the 1st CCM meeting in November 2010. In terms of implementation, the EC should first follow a two-pronged approach, combining the continuation of direct support to NGOs with a contribution to the newly established UXO Trust Fund.
The overall objective of the intervention was to support the MDG agenda of the government of Lao PDR with special prominence to the newly defined local MDG 9 to reduce the long term negative impact of unexploded ordnance (UXO) on the development of affected rural communities.
The purpose of the intervention was to significantly reduce the impact of UXO on rural livelihoods and rural development through support to activities related to UXO clearance, risk information and awareness raising, and victim's assistance.
The objective of the assignment was to provide a comprehensive and concrete recommendation for EU cooperation with Lao PDR in the UXO sector.

Landell Mills was contracted to conduct an organisational review of the CARICOM Secretariat. The project purpose was to assess the effectiveness of the Secretariat’s current organisational structure and identify the constraints to deepen regional integration within the Community.
The team of three consultants (Institutional & Governance Specialist, Legal Expert & Financial Management Specialist) were to develop a set of recommendations for a comprehensive restructuring of the Secretariat that would enhance its capacity to carry out its administrative, technical and other functions. The recommendations would aim to improve monitoring of Community decisions and to improve collaboration with other Community organisations. The project deliverables were as follows:
The final report entitled "Turning around CARICOM: proposals to restructure the Secretariat" was submitted in January 2012. The report sought not only to improve the procedures and mechanisms of the Secretariat; it also looked at the identity and aspirations of CARICOM as a regional entity and sought to define its role as a regional player. Clearly defined priorities over the short to medium term, whilst maintaining the operations of the Secretariat were found to be the key requirements for CARICOM to successfully deliver its mandate of bringing member states together under a prosperous regional policy.
The final recommendations were presented to the Caribbean Heads of Government on 08 March 2012. CARICOM has since gained funding from the UK government to implement the changes. The report is published on the CARICOM website at: http://www.caricom.org/jsp/communications/caricom_online_pubs/Restructuring%20the%20Secretariat%20-%20Landell%20Mills%20Final%20Report.pdf.
