APOPO is delighted to share the news of the extension of our long-term collaboration with the Cambodian Mine Action Centre (CMAC) for landmine clearance in Cambodia. We signed a new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on that will extend through to the end of 2024. The MoU reaffirms our commitment to working together with CMAC to make Cambodia safer by eradicating landmines and other explosive remnants of war.
This agreement is part of a 5-year project funded by the Belgian Directorate of Development Cooperation (DGD), aimed at surveying, clearing, and releasing 16 km of landmine-contaminated land in the province of Preah Vihear. The project also includes linking these areas with further agricultural development initiatives, benefiting small-scale farmers and enhancing food-security in the region.
