UNMAS Support for Mine Action in Afghanistan 2014 - 2015
Afghanistan suffers more civilian casualties than Iraq, Colombia or Cambodia, recording an average of 39 casualties every month as a result of mines and Explosive Remnants of War. Almost three quarters of all accidents continue to affect children. The goal for mine/ERW risk education is to put in place a comprehen-sive and sustainable system to educate and raise awareness throughout people and communities nationwide regarding the residual mines/ERW threats, including sufficient information to recognize and report these items to the appropriate authorities.
