Cooperation
Mine action in Tajikistan involves a large number of actors, including Government agencies, civil society, and international organizations. Since 2003, mine action has been consolidated under the leadership of the TMAC, supported by UNDP, with the ultimate goal to eradicate the land mine threat whilst complying with the requirements of the Ottawa convention.
TMAC represents the executive arm of the Governmental Commission on the Implementation of International Humanitarian Law, the body, which is able to plan, coordinate and implement all components of mine action programme. TMAC’s national partners include the Ministries of Defence, Labour and Social Protection, Health, Education, Committee of Emergency Situation and Civil Defence, Main Department of Border Guards of the State Committee of National Security and National Guard, Committee of Women and Family Affairs, National Orthopaedic Centre, National Rehabilitation Centre, National Association of Disabled People, Society of the Disabled, the Red Crescent Society of Tajikistan, Harmony of the World as well as the national mass media.
International cooperation is also recognized. Since 2003, Tajikistan has been enjoying a productive and dynamic cooperation with FSD that acted as the main de-mining operator in the country. Late 2010 the Norwegian People Aid (NPA) Organization started its land release operations in Tajikistan. TMAC established good cooperation with GICHD and particularly improved its information management capacity. The ICRC provides support and training to rehabilitate and improve the work conditions of the people with disabilities as well as actively participating in MRE activities. The French Government enabled Handicap International to undertake the KAP survey in priority districts of the country.
