The Development Initiative (TDI) have been providing EOD and IEDD training in Mali in support of UNMAS’s operations in the country. The work was part of a contract they were awarded by UNOPS in 2013 to respond to the ERW, IEDs and landmines that were affecting not only UN agencies but also civilians and their livelihoods.
They have also been engaged in assessing the explosive threat more generally across Mali, conducting survey as well as the EOD operations.
