1. Introduction
Myanmar continues to face severe challenges due to landmines and explosive ordnance (EO), with the problem worsening since the 2021 military takeover. This strategy aims to address these issues through comprehensive actions that do not yet include demining operations, which are currently prohibited.
The primary focus is on expanding and improving Explosive Ordnance Risk Education (EORE) to reach more at-risk populations, enhancing the coordination and effectiveness of mine action activities, advocating for policy changes to allow demining, and limiting the use of landmines. Additionally, it seeks to provide extensive support to survivors, including medical care, rehabilitation, and socio-economic integration.
By implementing these measures, the strategy aspires to create a safer Myanmar, free from the threats posed by landmines and EO, ensuring that all communities can live in safety and that the needs of survivors are adequately met. This involves not only immediate risk mitigation through education but also long-term advocacy and support initiatives to build a more secure and resilient nation.
