Project Title: Support to Tajikistan Mine Action Programme
The project’s overall goal is to eliminate the economic and health impact of mine/UXO in Tajikistan. Clearing mine/UXO contaminated areas surely increased access to valuable arable land and reduced poverty among rural communities. Parallel to mine/UXO clearance work, UNDP/TMAC’s Mine Risk RE initiatives did reduce the threat of mines/UXOs, and the Victim Assistance initiative helped decrease the burden of economic dependents for families and created a sense of harmony in the society. The project’s immediate objective is to create a sustainable national institution to plan, coordinate and implement comprehensive mine/UXO programme in Tajikistan.
