Japan strengthening mine risk education in ASEAN
10 June 2019 -

May 2019, the Japanese Government through the Japan-ASEAN Integration Fund (JAIF), provided the ASEAN Regional Mine Action Center (ARMAC) with an approximate amount of USD 156,000 funding to enhance Mine Risk Education (MRE) in a number of countries across the ASEAN region.

The funding will go towards supporting a one-year project to develop a comprehensive and integrated approach to MRE that will build on the best practices of ASEAN Member States in educating their populations on the dangers of landmines and explosive remnants of war (ERW).
