DCA has the opportunity to further investigate the possibility for mine action activities in Burma/Myanmar through a USD 500,000 donation from the US Department of State’s Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement.
The donation of USD 500,000 enables DCA to explore landmine contamination levels through community based survey operations in Myanmar.
These surveys are of great importance in order to fully understand the extent of the landmine problem and the affected populations. And may prove invaluable in the future if and when actual mine clearance becomes possible.
