The Cambodian Mine Action and Victim Assistance Authority (CMAA) has been working on policy guideline and strategic plan development for mine action in Cambodia since 2000. They work with strong collaboration and partnership with both national and international institutions and organizations, such as MAG and the HALO Trust.
Their main focuses are:
- mine clearance
- mine risk education
- survivor assistance
They seek to achieve national and international coordination in tackling the issue of landmines. On their webpage you can find statistics on land released after clearance as well as on the casualties of mines and UXO.
