Contributing to reducing impacts of explosive ordnance on the crisis-affected population of Yemen in Taizz governorate -Al Mokha district. ltpgtThrough the 12 months project, HI aims to reduce the threat of explosive ordnances (EO) faced by the crisis-affected population in Yemen through Non-Technical Survey (NTS), Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) and providing explosive ordnance risk education (EORE). These activities are intended to reduce EO incidents and increase the resilience of the people in the communities, so that they can live in a safe environment where economic and social development can occur without the constraints imposed by EO contamination.  The planned project will focus on the following main activities:ltbrgt Deliver EORE and conduct NTS in Mohka District, Taiz Governorate to identify confirmed hazardous area (CHA) and/or suspected hazardous area (SHA) in order to prioritize the lands to cancel, reduce or clear.ltbrgt Recruit, train and build capacity of an Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team to respond to Explosive Ordnance Disposal spot tasks (EOD spot tasks) in highly contaminated areas within the district of Mokha in coordination with the National Mine Action Authority.ltbrgtThe project will be implemented in the Southwest of Yemen. The selection has been made after discussion and coordination with YMACC by HI Armed Violence Reduction (AVR) global specialists during their visit to Yemen. The selection is based on the level of EO contamination and number of accidents reported by victims. Implementation in the south governorate will include: Taizz governorate. ltbrgtWith general results highlight the general positive impacts of reducing the threat and impact of explosive hazards on individuals, communities, and societies as a whole:ltbrgt1.	Clearance of Contaminated Areasltbrgt2.	Reduced Casualties and Accidentsltbrgt3.	Reduce physical and psychological affectsltbrgt4.	Increased Access to Land and Resourcesltbrgt5.	Enhanced Humanitarian Aid Deliveryltbrgt6.	Improved Community Safety and Securityltbrgt7.	Reinforcement of Peacebuilding and Stabilityltbrgt8.	Strengthened National CapacitiesltbrgtFor EORE, 2 months will be allocated for conducting an economic and social impact survey to identify the needs and understand the context and the targets/populations. Upon this, 5 months will be allocated to produce new EORE IEC oriented materials. However, EORE teams will be conducting the EORE activity for 8 months using the materials obtained from YMACC until new ones are approved and ready to use.ltbrgt- For NTS, the implementation will be implemented in over a period of 10 months. This is to identify and mark the confirmed hazardous Areas (CHAs) and Suspected Hazardous Areas (SHAs), where populations have can access to areas and services and use the lands safely.ltbrgt- For EOD, 3 months will be allocated for the coordination, accreditation, training, and recruitment followed by 8 months of implementation.ltbrgtltbrgtMonitoring plays a crucial role in ensuring accountability, improving performance, and guiding future interventions. HI will be monitoring the implementation of the activities as per HI SOPs. This is to check:ltbrgt The conformities/non-conformities.ltbrgt Compliance to IMAS, NMAS, and HI SOPs.ltbrgt Achievement progress.ltbrgt Assets efficiency.ltbrgtHI will be conducting regular Quality Assurance (QA) of the implementation as well as Quality Control (QC) to make sure of the final progress/product..ltbrgtThe accreditation process for any mine action organizations (MAO) applying for Mine Action (MA) activities in Yemen. It is subjected to a series of practical procedures (organizational, desk, and on-site accreditations), after obtaining the necessary authorization from the relevant ministries in an appropriate manner consistent with the laws in force in Yemen. HI signed an MoU with YMACC/YEMAC for all mine action activities to be conducted by HI, ltbrgtHI SOPs are to be reviewed and to be compliant with Yemen National Mine Action Standards (NMAS). This is to be done initially by HI, then submitted to YMACC for approval prior to the implementation.ltbrgtlt/pgt
