Survey and clearance of high priority legacy hazards and provision of EORE in Kunar province. Considering the priority of mine action sub cluster and the mine action program of Afghanistan (MAPA), AREA proposes implementation of the legacy mine/battle area clearance and provision of informal explosive ordnance risk education- EORE in Kunar province to address the primary needs of the respective communities, the returnees and the IDPs to be resettled, for saving their life. According to the field assessment conducted recently by AREA field office 18 civilian casualties are reported (7 killed and 11 injured) and caused death of more than 37 livestock. As per the report an accident was happened on a person by the name of Rohullah around three months back unfortunately he got injured. As well an EO accident was very recently (in the month of this Ramadan) happened on Mr. Qayamat gul two daughters and unfortunately their hands’ fingers were wounded as they have played and touched with an ERW in BF3227. It is also mentionable that around 50 families are displaced from the target areas to other places in the province/country. 
The project covers five hazardous areas of (BFs) with high impact level, having a total area of 5,580,342 sq. m contaminated with ERW. One hazardous area located in Isara village which is locally named Sediq Abad of Marawara district and four hazards are located in Pashangar and Machpana villages (The Machpana hazards actually related to Shah Maseer village) of Nari district of Kunar province. Nari district where 96% of the project area is there,it is geographically  surrounded from north and west sides by Kamdesh district of Nuristan province, from south side by Ghazi Abad district of Kunar province, but in east side it is touched with Durand line (Pakistan). This is why the implementation of this project needs to be very carefully, and the implementing partner shall be very familiar with the area and the expected challenges. 
Implementation of the concerned project which is provision of planned hazards area clearance and delivery of informal EORE will definitely improve local security and mitigate occurrence of mine/ERW incidents  which automatically resulted to decrease in number of civilian casualties in the locality. On the other hand, clearance of the target areas will enable aid workers and the humanitarian assistance providers to reach to the people safely and implement their projects with no concerns of mine/ERW incidents/accidents, so the access for humanitarian assistance will be facilitated. AREA will deploy 5 BAC teams (DTs) for fresh survey and clearance of the planned areas for  6 months. Monthly productivity per team is considered almost 186,000 sq. m/month. For EOD tasks or dealing with high caliber ERW during area clearance, AREA will deploy at least once section leader with having EOD level 3  qualification in each DT along with having the team leader for each DT as EOD level 3 qualified. The methodology of land release in this project is to start from community liaison, fresh NTS, TS, surface clearance and finally subsurface clearance based on the already done processes.(survey result). These demining teams particularly the command group with help of community liaison team will also deliver informal risk education messages to the target beneficiaries. They will distribute necessary EORE materials including the Mine Action hotline number (0708606060) and the new UNMAS related call number 410 to the affected communities as well.
