Description
The Mine Action and Cluster Munitions Programme 2025–2030 (MACM III) is a major grant initiative by the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Its objective is to reduce the dangers posed by landmines, cluster munitions, and explosive remnants of war, thereby enhancing the safety, stability, and socio-economic prospects of affected populations. The programme funds activities such as mapping and clearing contaminated land, destroying explosive stockpiles, mine risk education, comprehensive victim assistance, and capacity building for local NGOs and National Mine Action Authorities (NMAAs). Projects should contribute to the safe return of internally displaced persons, rehabilitation of infrastructure, and the development of local expertise.
