Cambodia Receives Over US$1 Million for Explosive Remnant Clearance

7 May 2014

The U.S Department of State donated more than US$1 million for the clearance of the existing explosive remnants of war in the eastern part of Cambodia.

Cambodian Mine Action Center (CMAC) and Norwegian People’s Aid (NPA) as implementers of the funded project formalized their partnership through the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding late last week at CMAC training school in Kampong Chhnang province.

Starting from 1 May 2014 to 30 September 2015, the project with the exact amount of US$1,761,394 began with creating a safe living environment for the locals in Kampong Cham and Kratie target areas. Since 1993, Cambodia has received supports of around US$60 million from the U.S. for the clearance of the explosive remnants of war along the Cambodia-Vietnam border.
