Mali
Mine Action
Humanitarian demining
Capacity building
FSD was active in Mali between 2013 and 2014, in partnership with UNICEF, UNMAS and other international actors, to train national specialists and strengthen community safety in relation to explosive hazards. These activities contributed to advancing mine action in Mali.
Improvised explosive devices
Mali has faced growing instability since 2012, following the Tuareg rebellion in the northern regions of Timbuktu, Gao and Kidal. Initial contamination came from conventional weapons, landmines and unexploded ordnance, but non-state armed groups soon began using improvised explosive devices. In the absence of a national mine action authority, the country relied on external organisations to coordinate demining efforts and protect communities.
Strengthening explosive risk prevention and management
Between 2013 and 2014, FSD implemented a project on explosive ordnance risk education and another on ammunition safety management in partnership with UNICEF, UNMAS and other international actors. These initiatives helped train national experts to deliver explosive ordnance risk education sessions for local communities and to strengthen national capacity for the safe management of weapons and ammunition stockpiles.
