Tajikistan Mine Action Centre Staff Meeting with
High Representative of UNDP Country Director Mr.
Rastislav Vrbensky
will be
held in January 22, 2009, 10:00-12:00 at TMAC
office, 15 Mahmadali Kurbonov Street
Tajikistan Mine Action Center will organize high
official meeting with the UNDP Country Director to
highlight actions to be undertaken within 2009. This
meeting will enable
Tajikistan Mine Action Centre (TMAC) to consider
further development of its national capacity in
planning, coordinating, managing and implementing
all mine action activities in the country, including
community level risk education campaigns, area
surveys, data collection and recording, task
prioritisation, marking, mine/UXO clearance, victims
data collection, and coordinating with other
partners, who provide operational support to mine
clearance and associated activities.
The first
main issue to be considered at the meeting is
Tajikistan Mine Action Programme activities and
Extension request.
This request comes out from
the
Extension of the Article Five of the 1997 Ottawa
Convention. If the extension period is prolonged,
then Tajikistan will have the opportunity to clear
all mine fields and build sustainable capacity as a
residual body for addressing issues of open-ended
nature of the landmine/UXO and cluster bombs
contamination.
Then the
floor will be given to the presentation
Questions/Answers.
Another
issue will be dedicated to the recommendations given
by the External Evaluator regarding plans for the
future and resource mobilization.
The
feedback will be highlighted in the TMAC Website
upon the completion of the meeting.
