Country: Somalia
Project Code: P07-SM05
Pillar: Multiple
Appealing Agency: Danish Demining Group (DDG)
Implementing Partners: Danish Refugee Council, South Central Somalia Mine Action Center (SCMAC), UN Mine Action Service (UNMAS)
Summary Objectives: This project aims to clear districts identified as affected by unexploded ordnance (UXO), security and access permitting. It also aims to deliver mine risk education to internally displaced people (IDPs) inside and outside of Mogadishu. It will help to improve access to and the availability of information on mines and explosive remnants of war (ERW), and provide relevant ERW-related risk mitigation advice and practical support to all groups as required and requested.
Activities:
- Provide an emergency UXO call-out explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) service.
- Target mine risk education to Mogadishu IDP groups.
- Conduct a landmine and ERW survey.
- Offer general ERW assistance and advisory services.
Expected Outcomes:
- Community safety will improve through better managing the risks of scattered landmines and UXO.
- There will be more community knowledge of prevalent ERW-related threats, and promotion of appropriate avoidance and reporting behaviour.
- Safe access of all groups in ERW-affected districts will increase.
