Abandoned Ammunition and Explosive Ordnance Disposal response (P10-AL01)
Pillar: Multiple
Appealing Agency: DanChurchAid (DCA)
Summary Objectives: The project is designed to provide the opportunity for the inhabitants of north-east Albania to hand over hidden caches of looted ammunition and weapons to a “neutral” agency, thereby removing the risk of injury to innocent personnel from handling improperly stored items. A secondary benefit would be the provision of a “quick reaction” team to respond in under six hours to issues related to explosive remnants of war (ERW) and explosive ordnance disposal (EOD).

Environmental Rehabilitation of Demined Areas in North-east Albania (P10-AL03)
Pillar: Multiple
Appealing Agency: ALB-AID (former VMA)
Summary Objectives: The project aims to reduce the poverty of mine-affected households in northern Albania by helping them to rebuild their productive assets on 1,000 hectares of agricultural land and forests cleared of landmines.
