HUMANITARIAN MINE ACTION
CRI’s Humanitarian Mine Action activities aim to reduce the social, economic and environmental impact of mines, and Explosive Remnants of War (ERW) including unexploded sub-munitions.
Humanitarian Mine Action is not just about demining; it is also about people and societies, and how they are affected by mine and ERW contamination. The objective of mine action is to reduce the risk from mines and ERW to a level where people can live safely; in which economic, social and health development can occur free from the constraints imposed by mine and ERW contamination, and in which the different needs of survivors can be addressed.
