Activity Areas

- Demonstrate the operational capability to manage large scale demining operations which deliver value for money and innovative service delivery; undertaken in close coordination with the National Mine Action Authority (NMAA) or relevant coordinating body;
- Integrate mine risk education into clearance activities to reduce the threat to groups including but not limited to; local communities, internally displaced people and cross border traders;
- Incorporate capacity building of NMAA to ensure authorities can develop legislation, regulation, quality information management systems and effective coordination mechanisms for demining implementers, depending on need;
- Implement the UK priorities for humanitarian mine action in countries which could include but are not limited to Somalia, South Sudan, Zimbabwe, Burma (Myanmar), Angola, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Sudan and Afghanistan;
- Mainstream gender within all mine action operations to deliver gender sensitive programming; and
