We sincerely appreciate our contributors’ time in writing and willingness to share their research and program work, as well as the successes and challenges they have encountered in their operations over the past year.
During my time in Ukraine, I found many examples of makeshift signs warning returning civilians that strategically planted explosive weapons were somewhere inside or nearby.
The HALO Trust (HALO) has successfully harnessed open-source research to better plan and conduct survey, clearance operations, and explosive ordnance risk education (EORE) across Ukraine.
A brief history of the contribution of MDDs over the past eight decades can help us put their performance into perspective and understand where they can add significant value, while also appreciating their limitations.
Aiming to find linkages between clearance efforts and food security , this article, however, looks at the operationalization of these links through an integrated mine action and agriculture.
The aim of the study is to address stereotypes and unproven assumptions that may still exist in the mine action sector regarding women’s performance and availability to work in certain field-based roles.
To begin the process of clearing these ERW, desk studies/non-technical studies can be utilized to initially assess the concentration and distribution of explosive weapons across a conflict zones.
The increase in the number of civilian casualties from landmines and other explosive ordnance (EO) in recent years has driven the demand for new and innovative ways to provide communities with risk education.
To avoid unplanned explosion of munitions (UEM) and to lower the risk of illicit diversion, the humanitarian requirements ensuring strong ammunition management structures have been well documented.
