Landmines: a deadly legacy of the civil war<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At the end of the civil war in 2002, millions of landmines and explosive remnants of war were scattered across the country, deeply affecting the safety of the population. Many residents were forced to leave their homes, and accidents, often fatal, became increasingly frequent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Introducing mechanical demining to support reconstruction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Starting in 2003, FSD was called upon to support the Angolan authorities in developing a national demining strategy. Initial assessment missions were carried out to propose technical assistance concepts in line with International Mine Action Standards (IMAS), including the use of mechanised systems to enhance the efficiency of demining operations. Between 2007 and 2009, FSD developed a quality management concept to oversee all activities, laying the foundations for a sustainable national mine action capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
