This project aims to support the Azerbaijan Mine Action Authority (ANAMA) through technical assistance and provide a humanitarian mine action response to the Azerbaijan-controlled territory of Nagorno-Karabakh. Project activities include: (1) providing targeted-risk education; (2) completing technical surveys; and (3) supplying quality assurance in line with international mine action standards.

The expected outcome for this project is to enhance ANAMA’s ability to deliver expanded and high-quality Humanitarian Mine Action programme to address new and legacy contamination in Azerbaijan.

Results achieved as of the end of the project (February 2022) include training 16 junior staff to implement new standard operational procedures to align with new international standards of mine clearance. The trained staff serve as managers and supervisors to expand high-quality technical surveys and clearance by Azerbaijan Mine Action Authority teams.
