Delivering Mine Action Quick Response, EORE, and child protection referrals in areas with high rates of return. ltpgtThis project addresses the risks posed by explosive ordnance (EO), especially to returnees,  and aims to enhance community resilience, through Non-Technical Surveys (NTS), explosive ordnance disposal, risk education, and child protection mainstreaming including safe identification and referrals to CP and other specialized services.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtPrimary Objectives:ltbrgt1.	Non-Technical Survey (NTS) and EOD: Conduct detailed NTS and EOD operations, including new surveys, re-surveys, confirmations, and cancellations of hazardous areas. MCPA aims to identify and mark hazardous areas, collect accurate data on mine/ERW/AIM contamination, and destroy spot ERW following national standards.ltbrgt2.	Explosive Ordnance Risk Education (EORE): Promote safe behaviour among at-risk populations through EORE, especially targeting children in the planned districts.ltbrgt3. Child protection mainstreaming: Safely identify and refer children (including CwDs) and families for child protection and other needed services. This also includes the capacity development of staff and information sharing on child protection messages within the communities of implementation.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtQuick Response Teams (QRTs) and EORE Teams: MCPA will deploy five Response Teams (QRTs) and four Explosive Ordnance Risk Education (EORE) teams across various districts in Kabul, Kunar, Laghman, Nangarhar, Baghlan, Kunduz, and Kandahar provinces. The QRTs will target 2,700 communities, including 54 impacted communities and 2,646 un-surveyed communities. The teams will resurvey known recorded hazard areas, covering 14,583,889 square meters, to confirm or deny the presence of explosive ordnance.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtTeam Structures:ltbrgt	QRT Structure: 1 Team Leader, 1 Assistant Team Leader, 2 Operators, 1 Paramedic, 1 Driver, and 1 Guard.ltbrgt	EORE Team Structure: 1 Female Trainer, 1 Male Trainer, and 1 Driver.lt/pgtltpgt 1 Child Protection Officerltbrgtlt/pgtltpgtEORE will employ a couple approach where the male and female will be each others' mahram to ensure their safety and access across target locations.lt/pgtltpgtThe QRTs will engage in various activities, including NTS, re-surveys, marking hazardous areas, destroying spot ERW, small task clearance, collecting civilian casualty data, responding to hotline/Awaaz mine action callouts from the targeted communities, and addressing MA requests from local and humanitarian partners.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtEORE Activities: The EORE teams will focus on promoting safe behavior among at-risk populations, especially children. They will conduct educational sessions in host communities, IDP camps, and among returnees. The total target for EORE participants is 63,360 individuals.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtThe EORE services will also identify and refer children to the child protection actors across implementing locations. Similarly, these services will be based on needs and in a principled manner.ltbrgtlt/pgtltpgtltbrgtKey Project Activities:ltbrgt1.	Non-Technical Survey (NTS): Conduct new surveys, re-surveys, confirmations, and cancellations of hazardous areas as per AMAS guidelines.ltbrgt2.	Destruction of Spot ERW: Follow standard procedures for the safe destruction of explosive remnants of war.ltbrgt3.	Data Collection: Gather accurate information on mine/ERW/AIM contamination and civilian casualties.ltbrgt4.	Hazard Marking: Mark hazardous areas identified during surveys to prevent civilian entry and reduce accident risks.ltbrgt5.	Small Task Clearance: Perform small-scale clearance tasks to remove immediate threats posed by explosive ordnance.ltbrgt7.	Explosive Ordnance Risk Education (EORE): Educate at-risk populations about EO dangers and safe practices.lt/pgtltpgt8. Safe identification and referrals of children to needed servicesltbrgt9.
