CISR, working in close collaboration with faculty from (JMU COB), specializes in management training for leaders in humanitarian mine action and conventional weapons destruction around the world. The SMC seeks to integrate the latest thinking in the field of business management with the practical experience of explosive remnants of war (ERW) and mine action operators. The goal is to hone the skills of senior managers of national mine action programs and local implementing partners so that countries can more effectively and efficiently clear their lands of landmines and other ERW that adversely affect their citizens' well-being and impinge upon economic development.

The SMC began in 2004 when the (UNDP) awarded CISR a contract to implement the course. Through UNDP support, CISR hosted five SMCs and trained more than 100 senior managers from over 30 countries. Since 2010, PM/WRA has sponsored the SMC with an expanded focus to include related conventional weapons destruction activities, including management of small arms/light weapons and munitions stockpiles, and other emerging topics in the post-conflict recovery field. With PM/WRA support, CISR has conducted five additional global SMCs on the JMU campus and four regional SMCs.

Highlights from Recent Senior Managers’ Courses • Regional SMC for South and Central Asia, 2018 (SMC-TJ) • In collaboration with the Tajikistan National Mine Action Center (TNMAC), CISR conducted the 2018 Regional Senior Managers’ Course in Conventional Weapons Destruction (SMC) from 25 June to 13 July, 2018. Twenty-five participants representing five different countries (Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Sri Lanka, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan) and 14 mine action organizations attended the course held in Dushanbe, Tajikistan. In addition to almost two weeks of managerial skills instruction, the course focused on conventional weapons destruction issues as a whole to address the wide array of program priorities in countries in South and Central Asia. “[It’s] an opportunity to learn from excellent experts, professors and very bright participants. It was very balanced between theory and practice, as well as interesting discussions, [and] examples from so many countries.” –2018 Regional SMC-TJ participant • Regional SMC for Europe and Eurasia in Croatia, 2017 (SMC-CR) From 20 March to 7 April, 2017, 20 senior managers from 12 countries gathered for the 2017 Regional SMC in Biograd na Moru, Croatia. Participants were from CWD programs in Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Georgia, Kosovo, Serbia, Slovenia, Turkey and Ukraine.

Three participants from Colombia also joined the course to take advantage of the excellent working relationship already established between the Croatian and Colombian mine action authorities and to learn from the programs in Europe and Eurasia. This course strengthened regional partnerships and collaboration and focused on issues critical to the region, including program sustainability, small arms and light weapons, physical security and stockpile management, and managing programs through transitional phases. When considering the most valuable aspect of the course, one participant stated that the SMC encourages them, “to start thinking holistically as a senior manager, to be aware what has to be consideredand how the problems should be addressed or even what to do to avoid them. I liked the interaction of professors with participants and [the] team work.” • Global SMC at James Madison University, 2016 The Global Senior Managers’ Course in ERW and Mine Action (SMC) took place at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia, from 23 May to 10 June, 2016. The 2016 Global SMC welcomed 21 participants representing CWD programs in 13 different countries, including Afghanistan, Colombia, Iraq, Laos, Lebanon, Libya, Palau, Senegal, Sri Lanka, Somalia, Tajikistan, Vietnam and Yemen—creating a strong global network of mine action practitioners. In addition, the SMC incorporated highly successful modules developed for the regional SMC, including a panel featuring representatives from donor countries and a roundtable discussion with international nongovernmental organizations working in mine action around the world. “The most valuable aspect of the course for me is the exposure to the wider mine action sector.
