About Us
Mission: 

To saves lives and build safer futures. Working with others around the world, we will use our core skills and distinctive competence to save lives through the removal of landmines and explosive remnants of war (ERW), and reduce the impact of small arms and light weapons (SALW) and ammunition on people and communities. How we do this is as important as what we do - we work primarily with and for communities. For us, it's all about the people.

Programs: 

MAG’s current operational delivery spans 26 countries, across Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and Latin America. Our programs vary in scale, age, and complexity, but each presents its own unique opportunities and challenges.

We have longstanding mine action programs in countries like Angola, Cambodia, and Vietnam. The majority of arms management and destruction work takes place in Africa, building on over a decade of experience. 

MAG’s programs in Mali, Chad and the Democratic Republic of Congo combine mine action and arms management and destruction programming elements. 

Iraq is currently our largest program, with over 600 staff and a budget exceeding $15 million per year. It draws on 25 years of mine action work and is at the forefront of the humanitarian response to one of the world’s most complex contemporary conflicts.
