With joint funding from the Human Security Division of Switzerland and the United States Institute of Peace (USIP), Oxford Research Group (ORG) canied out a detailed study to document and analyse existing practice woridwide in the reconjing of casualties from armed conflict, which is called Every Casualty programme (EC). In this programme, ORG surveyed 40 casualty recording practitioners (mainly situated in civil society) to produce Outputs organised by thème that serve as a resource for casualty recorders, policymakers, researchers and other stakeholders. Alongside the research project, the EC programme supports and develops a 38-member Intemational Practitioner Network (IPN) of casualty recorders around the worid, who work together in a productive alliance facilitated by ORG. After carefui évaluation, ORG has identified an immediately implementable opportunity to respond to the findings ofthe two year research project, which is to begin to assist specific practitioners in the IPN with improved data handling Systems. The project is to develop a widely implementable casualty recording System along with supporting documentation (a manual) and practical implementation.
