Published purpose

This project aims to support the safe return of civilians to their homes and communities in the governorate of Raqqa in Syria. This is done by removing explosive devices that were placed in homes, schools and public areas by Daesh. The project works with local communities to identify at-risk sites and coordinate return efforts. Project activities include: (1) deploying explosive clearance teams, including an emergency explosive clearance team; (2) building the capacity of local clearance teams; (3) deploying community liaison teams to identify at-risk sites; and (4) geographic mapping of contaminated and cleared areas. The project is expected to clear at least 1, 592,000 square meters of land and survey it in support of returning populations in urban areas.
