With our support @free_fields has removed & destroyed 178 unexploded ordnance in Greater Tripoli area, #Libya. Crucial mine risk education was delivered to 6 000 individuals, including children. This helped to increase access to productive land, improve livelihoods & access to basic services facilitating the return of Internally Displaced Persons. This is #EUForeignPolicy in action! #MineAwarenessDay
On April 30th, a side event "Mine Action in #Libya" was held at the #NDMUN27 on the theme "Protecting Lives. Building Peace." The event, facilitated by UNSMIL ’s Mine Action Section, featured a joint presentation by the #LibMAC and the Free Field Foundation (#3F).
One of this week's key #NDMUN27 topics was on boosting local capacities for sustainable impact.
Especially at a time when funding for local mine action has been decreasing, as our Monitor reports reveal.
Thank you @DRC_ngo and DCA for highlighting this crucial issue !!👏

The use of explosive devices in conflicts is on the rise but funds to support #MineAction are falling short. At the #NDMUN27 Directors' Meeting today I stressed the need for continuous & flexible funding so UNMAS & its partners can carry out their life-saving work. @UNMAS
