Explosive hazards inherited from past wars
Certain border areas with Uzbekistan and Tajikistan remain contaminated by landmines and other explosive remnants of war — vestiges of past conflicts. These dangers continue to threaten local populations and cross-border exchanges, making it essential to strengthen local capacities to manage and neutralise these threats.
Building local expertise for lasting impact
In partnership with the OSCE, FSD trains and supports Kyrgyz border guards to detect and neutralise explosives, manage obsolete or illegal weapons and ammunition stockpiles, and use detection dogs to identify hazardous devices. These efforts help protect communities from explosive-related accidents while strengthening regional security and stability by preventing the proliferation of weapons.
In the past, FSD has also carried out other projects in Kyrgyzstan, addressing a different kind of contamination: toxic residues left behind by the former uranium mining industry.
