Risk Education

The programme supports the delivery of Risk Education to boys, girls, men and women who either live or are planning to travel through/return to contaminated areas. This education enables them to make safer decisions and better protect themselves and their families from injuries and death related to the contamination.

Survey and Clearance

Survey of contaminated areas and the clearance of explosive hazards saves lives. It is an essential first step before any rehabilitation or reconstruction work can take place.
