Description
The Mine Action and Cluster Munitions Programme 2025–2030 (MACM III), funded by the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs, supports protection from landmines, cluster munitions and other explosive remnants of war. It aims to improve physical security and enable people to use land without fear, supporting livelihoods, reconstruction and inclusive socioeconomic development. Clearing land also helps internally displaced people return safely to their homes.
The programme funds contamination surveys, clearance, stockpile destruction, risk education and assistance to mine victims. It also strengthens local NGOs, local expertise, institutional structures and National Mine Action Authorities. Activities connect humanitarian action, development and peace through crop sowing on released farmland and infrastructure rehabilitation.
