Survey and Mapping Mines and Explosive Hazards in Yemen
The two-year project aims to protect civilian lives and livelihoods in frontline areas through the systematic map-ping of weapon-contaminated areas, timely disposal of explosive ordnances in and around homes, and providing comprehensive explosive ordnance risk education. Special attention will be given to vulnerable groups, particu-larly children. Given the severe threat posed by explosive ordnances in Yemen, this project is essential for im-proving safety, enabling access to vital resources and services, and contributing to conducive conditions for return.

| Contesto | Yemen's decade-long conflict has resulted in a significant con-tamination of landmines and other explosive ordnances (EO), leading to over 4,500 civilian casualties since 2015, with children being disproportionally affected. Frontline areas like Taiz and Ad Dhale are particularly affected, with EO hindering access to vital resources and services. Mine action activities are crucial for en-suring humanitarian access, promoting peacebuilding, and facil-itating Yemen's overall recovery and development. |
| Obiettivi | Conflict-affected people in Yemen have sus-tained conditions for human security, reduced risks of harm from explosive hazards and are able to rebuild their lives, decreasing potential for further conflict. |
| Gruppi target | The project will target men, women, boys and girls who are at risk of the effects of explosive remnants of war (ERW) around current and former frontlines. Mine action authorities and other actors will also benefit from surveying and mapping activities that will support evi-dence-based programming. |
| Risultati |
Risultati principali attesi: Output 1.1: Information of the presence of landmines, EO and debris is available for effective planning. Output 2.1: Landmines and EO are removed and destroyed (mechanical clearance will not receive financial support from SDC). Output 2.2: Skilled men and women are contributing to the hu-manitarian mine action sector in Yemen. Output 3.1: Conflict-affected communities are informed of the dangers of EO and the actions to take when encountering EO. Risultati fasi precedenti: This is the first phase. |
