banning anti-personnel mines, including the component on assistance to mine victims. The programme continued with the modernization of the information system, recording and identification of all victims of landmines or explosive devices. It is in this context that the formulation and implementation of a support programme for organizations working with disabled persons has been strengthened to increase their capacity for providing assistance to victims, especially in border areas. The training has been prioritised in order to better support victims psychologically and ensure social support, rehabilitation and especially promote awareness by all means. The development of a study on the socioeconomic impact of mines and the development of the education and accident prevention programme have complemented in 2008 the whole strategy initiated since May 2005. The Civil society has a special interest in children with disabilities who, based on its estimation are 630 000. It states that the Ministry of National Solidarity and Family supports 14,260 children with disabilities in specialist schools and 1452 in integrated classes for sensory impaired children. The associations that manage the special needs facilities host about 5,000 children with disabilities. As part of a project entitled "Education for All: Towards inclusion of children with disabilities in the Algerian educational system" started in January 2010, for a of three year period, Handicap International and the partners associations – i.e. association of parents of children for the promotion and integration of cerebral palsiers or disabled with cerebral origin of Setif, the association of people with disabilities and their friends of the Bouzeguène daïra and the National Support Association for disabled persons of El Baraka in Ain Taya, have conducted a local diagnosis of the obstacles to the education of children with disabilities. The 'Education for All: Towards inclusion of children with disabilities in the Algerian educational system "(2010-2012) programme was also designed to promote best practices of stakeholders from associations and institutions involved in the education of disabled children in order to promote their participation and inclusion in mainstream schools at three wilayas: Algiers, Tizi Ouzou and Setif. 246. The care of children with disabilities in institutional settings: This is done through an infrastructural network of 201 specialized institutions. The main mission of these schools is to provide education and specialist education for children and young people aged 3 until the completion of their education as well as to ensure their health, their safety, their well-being and development. These institutions are governed by the provisions of Executive Order No. 12-05 of 4 January 2012 on Status- type of educational institutions and special education for disabled children. The civil society specifies that the child, from his placement by the juvenile courts in a facility specialised in safeguarding children and adolescents (CSR, CSP and CSPJ), he/she is supported by the institution which must, in accordance with the regulations in force: - Provide education, rehabilitation and the protection of minors; - Study the minor's personality, his abilities and aptitudes through direct observation of his behaviour and through various reviews and social inquiries; 42
