Building capacity of the Ukrainian humanitarian demining institutions

This project supports a sector-leading mine action program focused on developing high-quality national demining capacity and capability to address widespread explosive hazard contamination throughout Ukraine. Project activities include: (1) supporting survey and clearance operations in areas impacted by Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine; (2) providing explosive ordnance risk education (EORE) and community outreach in areas contaminated with explosive hazards; and (3) training and equipping Ukrainian deminers to International mine action standards and providing mentorship support as needed.

The expected outcomes of the project include: (1) enhanced survey and clearance operations in areas impacted by Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine; (2) strengthened EORE and community outreach in areas contaminated with explosive hazards; and (3) enhanced the efficiency of the Government of Ukraine deminers and EOD technicians to respond to the risks of Explosive remnants of war (ERW) contamination.
