This project aims to develop the long-term operational, managerial, and support capacities of Iraqi mine action operators. The project pairs international mine action non-governmental organizations (NGOs) with national mine action NGOs. Project activities include: (1) transferring knowledge and skills to enhance the local capacity for both mine action and overall project management; and (2) implementing explosive ordnance clearance activities in areas recently liberated from Daesh. The United Nations Mine Action Service implements this project.

The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) increased capacity of Iraqi national operators to deliver mine action activities; (2) enhanced capacity to manage and delivery programs, including leadership skills, operational systems, risk management and resource mobilization; and (3) increased safety and security for communities in areas recently liberated from Daesh.
