In partnership with experienced organizations on the ground, the German Government assists countries to clear mines, cluster munitions and unexploded ordnance mainly when such contamination causes social and economic problems for local communities. The aim of the assistance is not just to help reduce poverty and promote development but also and most importantly to ensure people’s physical safety and alleviate suffering. The assistance is also intended to help the countries concerned fulfil their obligations under the Ottawa, Cluster Munitions and UN Conventional Weapons Conventions.
