Surveys
- Advance Survey Mission Planned

When a country expresses a willingness to have a landmine impact survey (LIS) conducted, donors are approached to cultivate interest in funding the project.

An initial grant funds a short planning effort for the LIS where a SAC director visits the country on a fact finding mission (the so-called ASM). This visit is made to assess NGO involvement and infrastructure currently in operation within country, the cost of national salaries, rental facilities, utilities, and equipment, and provides a first-cut estimate of the number of communities required to be visited during the LIS.

These facts obtained during the ASM are then used to formally plan an LIS and prepare a draft project plan, budget, and timeline for implementing the LIS. A proposal is then submitted to the interested donor(s) for consideration.

SAC is planning to send a team to conduct an advance survey mission to determine the feasibility of conducting Landmine Impact Surveys (LIS) in the following countries.
