Previous SDC support to HI helped to provide essential rehabilitation, MHPSS, and disability-inclusive services for victims of ERW. HI supported physical and functional rehabilitation, assistive devices, prosthetics and orthotics, psychosocial support, outreach, and referrals in a context where specialized services remained limited.

The collaboration confirmed the relevance of an integrated approach combining victim assistance and prevention. It also showed that distance, transport costs, insecurity, limited specialized services, and social constraints continued to limit access to services, especially for women, persons with disabilities, and people in remote areas. The proposed new phase builds on these learnings and places greater emphasis on strengthening local capacities to enhance sustainability. Mobile outreach and telerehabilitation are scaled up, and integrated with referral follow-up, victim assistance, technical survey and clearance.
