As part of the strategic plans of the Awareness and Victim Assistance Departments of the Libyan Mine Action Center and War Remnants, two intensive training courses were implemented on the dangers of mines, war remnants and explosive devices, in addition to the concept of victim assistance and the data collection mechanism. The courses targeted medical and paramedical teams from the Emergency Medicine and Support Center, in order to enhance their capabilities in dealing with cases resulting from war remnants and providing the necessary support to victims.
Objectives of the training courses:
- Awareness of the dangers of mines and war remnants:
The courses aim to raise the level of awareness among participants about the dangers posed by mines, explosive devices and war remnants, and how to recognize and avoid them. - Victim assistance:
Participants were trained on the concept of victim assistance, including providing psychological and social support, in addition to the necessary first aid for emergency cases. - Data collection mechanism:
The focus was on the importance of collecting data related to victims and incidents resulting from war remnants, and how to document them accurately to ensure improved response and guide future efforts.
Target groups:
- Medical and paramedical teams from the Emergency Medicine and Support Center.
- Relevant government agencies.
- International and local organizations working in the field of mine action and victim assistance.
- Awareness teams affiliated with the Libyan Mine Action Center.
Importance of these courses:
These courses come within the framework of the Libyan Mine Action Center’s ongoing efforts to enhance the capabilities of local cadres in dealing with war remnants and providing the necessary support to victims. This step is also part of a broader strategy that includes organizing workshops and forums aimed at spreading awareness among all target groups, including the local community, government agencies and international organizations.
Next steps:
The Libyan Center continues to coordinate and implement more training courses and workshops to ensure the sustainability of efforts in the field of awareness and victim assistance, with a focus on enhancing cooperation between all relevant parties to achieve the goals of mine action and war remnants in Libya.
