By integrating landmine clearance with community development, the program aimed to reduce poverty in targetted mine affected communities; strengthen local and provincial capacity in making decisions about mine clearance and allocation of land post clearance; strengthen local community decision-making; improve food security; provide livelihood support and basic infrastructure such as village ponds or roads; and improve agricultural productivity.
The implementing NGO, Austcare, partnered with local and provincial government officials and local NGOs.
