This contribution greatly facilitated our work to

support the civilian population of Afghanistan in their

efforts to rebuild l ives and livehoods following the

devastation of decades of conict and instability.

(...) the assistance of IRU has contibuted to a safer and

more prosperous Afghanistan.

I very much look forward to continuing a fruitful

partnership with the International Road Transport Union.

3UNMAS Directors Foreword

As United Nations ocal pointor mine action, the UnitedNations Mine Action Service(UNMAS) is responsible orensuring an eective, proactiveand coordinated UN responseto landmines and explosiveremnants o war. In peacekeeping

and emergency settings, UNMASestablishes and manages mineaction coordination centres inmine aected countries, plansand manages operations,mobilises resources and setsmine-action priorities or assiststhe Government in doingso, where the mine actioncoordination centre has beentransitioned to the nationalauthorities. While advancing itsvision o a world ree rom thethreat o landmines and explosiveremnants o war, UNMAScontributes to UN eorts towardsimplementing sustainable peacethrough justice and security.

This lie-saving work would not be possible without the fnancial support o theinternational community. It is thus with great pleasure that I note the successulcompletion o the project between the International Road Transport Union (IRU) andUNMAS or removal o landmines and explosive remnants o war on and adjacentto roads linking Kabul to its Central Asian neighbours. With the IRUs contribution,the project was designed to reduce the threat o injury and death posed to thosewho travel and work on and around these routes, contributing to road saety andenhancing trade links.

As the rst contribution received directly rom an international organisation, theUNMAS/IRU partnership represents an important milestone. The IRU contributionalong with unding o $2 million rom the UN Voluntary Trust Fund or Assistancein Mine Action (VTF) was used to und NGOs as well as the UNMAS-managed Mine

Action Coordination Centre o Aghanistan (MACCA) and the resulting project hasproven to be an unequivocal success. With this land now returned to communities orproductive use, the socio-economic impact o this clearance cannot be understated.In the longer term we hope that, through removing the detritus o war and degradingthe legacy o conict, the project will contribute to the reconstruction, developmentand stabilisation o Aghanistan.

We thank the IRU and look orward to continuing this partnership in the years tocome.

In 2011, the International RoadTransport Union (IRU) teamed up withUNMAS to support demining activitiesin Aghanistan, in the ramework o theUN Decade o Action or Road Saety.The objective o this collaboration wasto clear several square kilometres olandmines and explosive remnantso war (ERW) rom the 700 kilometrering road that connects Kabul to

Aghanistans Northern Provincesand Central Asian neighbours, thusreducing the threat o injury and deathto those who travel along and workaround these routes.

This innovative public-privatepartnership, implemented rom April2011 to March 2012, has contributedto the reconstruction, developmentand stabilisation o Aghanistan, andhelped the country move rom aid to

trade by international road transport.The direct benefciaries are the 42 communities o over 3,000 Aghan amiliesliving in the vicinity o the 86 hazardous zones covered by this project. The indirectbeneciaries include the estimated 7 million people living in the six provinces throughwhich the ring road runs.

Road transport is no longer merely a means o transport, but has become avital production and mobility tool in all economies and the driver o economic and

social progress. By improving road saety and securingdomestic and international trade road links, the project hasalso reinvigorated socio-economic opportunities betweenAghanistan and Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and

beyond.

As the President o the Republic o Aghanistan, Hamid Karzai, once stressed:Once we are on our feet with our own economy, with our mineral resources, withour businesses, with our country becoming a hub or transportation in Central Asia andSouth and West Asia, Aghanistan will remain a good, strong, and economically viable

partner with allies.

Improving road saety and acilitating trade and international road transport havealways been at the core o the IRUs actions or over 60 years, making the IRU a naturalpartner or relevant UN Divisions and programmes, such as UNMAS. Indeed, ollowingWorld War II, the IRU helped expedite Europes reconstruction by developing the TIR

transit System, which dramatically improved the integration o Europes trade andeconomy. Now, some 60 years later, the road transport industry is proud to contr ibutetangibly once again to the economic recovery o yet another war-torn region.

The IRU is committed to moving Aghan economic development orward byremoving the physical obstacles, including landmines and other ERW, or the beneto every Aghan citizen. The IRU is also working together with its national Member,the Aghanistan Chamber o Commerce and Industr ies (ACCI), and in close cooperationwith the Aghan Government to remove the non-physical obstacles to national andinternational road transport on Aghanistans territory resulting rom inadequateborder crossing procedures, through the implementation o the key UN multilateraltrade and transport acilitation instruments such as the TIR Convention, whose

efciency is proven in many other countries.

This UNMAS-IRU public-private partnership or Demining Aghanistan is a veryconcrete step in the right direction to driving progress and ultimately peace to ensurethe sustainable mobility o people and goods in the region. It is the IRUs hope that thisproject will serve as an inspiration or others to join us in putting into practice the IRUmotto: Working together or a better uture.

5Since the beginning o the innovative partnershipbetween the IRU and UNMAS, Aghanistans position in the

eld o trade has much improved, with the clearance o roadsand adjacent villages reeing up important trade pathways.

This outstanding initiative by the IRU has helpedto bolster the trade between Aghanistan and Central Asia

and acilitate the trade o supplies rom the Middle East andSoutheast Asia. We hope that such support rom the IRUwill continue in the uture until we clear all mines and otherexplosives rom all roads and paths that are used or tradeand humanitarian activities, and that similar initiatives can beundertaken with other organisations.

True to its commitment to achieve sustainable development, notably by urtheringthe UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) through acilitated, sae and secure

road transport, the IRU teamed up with UNMAS to support demining activities inAghanistan in the ramework o the UN Decade o Action or Road Saety 2011-2020.

The IRU and UNMAS ormalised this innovative public-private partnership bysigning an Agreement at the UN Headquarters in New York on 28 January 2011outlining their common objectives to increase security and intensify socio-economicdevelopment of Afghanistan to facilitate its integration in the global trade andeconomy systems and develop cooperation in road transport safety and security.

Quality roads are a prerequisite to improve acountrys economy and develop trade. Providing goodquality roads mean that they are mine-ree. In our case,they are crucial to the stable economic development o thecountry. It is important that you see it with your own eyes.The organisations which de-mine roads have ound somethat date back to ancient war times. Thereore, clearingroads rom mines is a huge task, and we are ully awareo the importance and signicance o this operation. Inessence: this work is a question o lie or death or ourcountry.

The aim o this public-private partnership was to improve roadsecurity in war-torn Aghanistan by clearing roads and road adjacentmineelds and battle areas posing a signicant threat to the movemento goods and passengers along the routes linking Kabul to its CentralAsian neighbours. It sought to reduce the risk o injury and deathposed to the thousands o people who travel along and work aroundthese routes every week, contributing to road saety and enhancingtrade links.

10 Short term objectives and direct

benefciaries

Since the very start, the Association o Road TransportCarriers o Georgia (GIRCA) has supported the UNMAS IRU

project or Demining Aghanistan. Landmines, and other explosiveremnants o war, are signicant obstacles to development. Thereare also mineelds in Georgia, so we understand all too well thethreat it poses to the road transport industry. Road transport ishighly essential or Aghanistan, as only road transport can oerthe fexibility to reach any village or community, thus improvingthe distribution o goods and mobility o people, and ultimatelydriving peace and progress in this war-torn region.

Demining Aghanistan creates more opportunitiesor road transport development. This IRU-UNMAS partnershipis an excellent example o the road transport industry takingresponsibility, not only or delivering goods on time, but also orimproving road saety and providing security or the sustainabletransport o both goods and people, which makes the projecteven more valuable.

Short-term benets o the project: Quick acts and gures

Clearing of 86 hazardous zones, in the Central, Northern and North-Easternregions o Aghanistan;

clearance zones were located within a 100 m corridor on either side of the700 km ring road which connects Kabul to the provinces in the Northern provinceso Parwan, Baghlan, Kunduz, Samangan, Balkh and Jowzjan;

daily lives o 42 communities impacted;

benecial to over 3,000 amilies;

employment opportunities provided for over 200 people rom the aectedcommunities;

road saety and security improved or the thousands o people travelling on theseroutes every week.

13Long term objectives and indirect

benefciaries

In the long term, this project is expected to contribute to the reconstruction,development and stabilisation o Aghanistan. This landlocked country, strategicallylocated along the Silk Road could, once roads secured, play an essential role in Euro-Asian trade and road transport links, bringing prosperity to the entire landmassthrough the revitalisation o the ancient Silk Road.

This eort to clear mines and oster development concretely supports the UNMDGs as UNMAS and the IRU are proactively helping the people o Aghanistan bycontributing to their saety and smooth running o their economy. The UNMAS-IRU

public-private partnership urther illustrates how Working together or a betteruture can support innovative partnerships that tackle critical issues or development.

Expected long term outcomes o the project: Quick acts and gures

Yields a positive impact on the living conditions o over 7 million people living inthe 6 provinces through which the ring road runs;

secures the mobility o local communities, Internally Displaced Persons (lDPs) andreugees who are at daily risk o mine/ERW accidents and whose movements arerestricted by landmines and ERW contamination;

allows drivers to use the road more saely;

reduces the cost o ood and non-ood items;

returns land to its original agricultural use (mainly wheat and rice);

increases opportunities or trade and business;

allows or sae maintenance and reconstruction o the existing road which iscurrently being implemented by the Ministry o Public Work;

strengthens the trade among Aghanistans provinces and with Tajikistan,Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and ultimately Europe, all o which are connectedthrough this road.

Aghanistan is our neighbouring country to the East, which separatesus rom China. Transit deliveries via Aghanistan, both to and rom China, couldgreatly acilitate economic development or Tajikistan and Aghanistan. In thiscontext, we consider the demining o Aghanistan as a very positive step towardsregional trade transport development. We also believe that the International RoadTransport Union, to which both Aghan and Tajik road transport operators belong,has set an excellent example o an innovative public-private partnership aimed at

solving important problems to improve the quality o lie or every Aghan citizen.

Rolling out the project

At the end o March 2011, the IRU chartered a truck, which let Le Havre in France,to bring demining equipment provided by the Halo Trust all the way down to Kabul,Aghanistan, in order to supply demining teams and other clearance assets on location.

Meeting with local Shura

Prior to starting the project, a number o meetings were held with the local Shura

and local authorities such as the distr ict governor, chie o police and community eldersrom the target areas, in order to gain their support or the projects implementation.Community buy-in helped mitigate the potential security related risks that projectpersonnel might ace.

Stafng

Local people were recruited as deminers, medics, drivers and guards, as it ispreerred that demining personnel are recruited rom the impacted communitieswhenever possible. In addition to their employment as deminers, personnel hired towork close to their communities could also carry on with their other work, such asarming, tending livestock and shop keeping ater they fnished demining each day.As this project covered a substantial distance, personnel were recruited as a mix oboth local people rom the target area and experienced sta rom the ImplementingPartners core capacity.

Recruitment o demining personnel was conducted in consultation with the targetareas local Shura, which helped implementing partners hire the appropriate peopleand also promoted the eeling o project ownership among the local population o thecontaminated areas to be de-mined, while supporting the personnels general saetyand security.

The implementation by ATC and HALO o the UNMAS/IRU project was auseul component o the wider mine action programme delivery it is encouragingto see unding partnerships o this nature in Aghanistan.

16Training

It took an average o 45 days to prepare and train each team or the beginning ooperational demining activities. The ollowing training was needed beore they couldbe deployed into a live hazardous area to clear mines and ERW:

Demining Course to recognise dierent types o mines and learn the techniques

o manual mine clearance and disposal o antipersonnel and antitank mines usingexplosives.

Pre-deployment Course to start work, conducted in simulated mineelds as part oa warm up exercise beore the deminers are deployed into a live mineeld.

Battle Area Clearance (BAC) teaching deminers to recognise dierent types oUnexploded Ordnance (UXO) and to conduct battle area clearance. The completiono this course authorised deminers to destroy up to 85mm calibre UXO.

Once the training was completed, the new teams were accredited bythe MACCA to ensure they had the adequate training and could work saely.

The deminers were then able and equipped to commence work.

Launched on 14 April 2011 in Kabul, the demining project was carried out over aten-month period:

Im a man o action andthats why I like what the UnitedNations is doing here, action mine action. We are not just talkingabout it, but taking action to

solve this problem, Im here to beeducated and then educate people

about an issue that can be solvedwith the proper levels o unding.

18 Demining partners and clearance assets

Funding provided in support o mine clearance by IRUand UNMAS has been an excellent initiative in building the

Aghan economy, improving sae trade between Aghanistanand neighbouring countries mainly in Central Asia that, like

Aghanistan, are landlocked and rely heavily on road transportor trade.

The HALO Trust, through this clearance, madesecondary roads and the edges along main highways in theNorth and Northeast o the country saer or thousands o

passengers who use these roads on a daily basis. The Kutchiepopulation, indigenous nomads who move their convoys ocamels, horses, donkeys and mules during the summer months

rom the South o the country to the North and Northeast usingthese roads, also massively beneftted rom IRU unded mineclearance in Aghanistan.

HALO Aghanistan would like to thank the IRU or itsgenerosity in supporting the humanitarian clearance activitiescompleted under this project. In addition, the equipment

purchased under this contract will help the HALO Trust conducthumanitarian missions to clear mines and ERW in Aghanistanin the long term. I would like to reiterate the act that this hasbeen an outstanding initiative by the IRU to und humanitarianmine clearance in Aghanistan, and has helped improve thetrade between Aghanistan and Central Asia, China and Russiaas well as acilitating the movement o goods being imported

rom the Middle East and Southeast Asia transiting throughCentral Asia to Aghanistan.

We hope that such assistance rom the IRU will continuein the uture until we clear all mines and ERW rom the edges oall primary, secondary and tertiary roads in Aghanistan.

The HALO Trust

The HALO Trust is a non-political, non-religious, non-governmentalorganisation (NGO) based in South West Scotland, registered in Englandas a charity, and in the United States as a not-or-proft organisation. TheHALO Trust specialises in the removal o the hazardous debris o war.It is the worlds oldest and largest humanitarian landmine clearanceorganisation.

The HALO Trusts operations cover Central Asia, South East Asia, theHorn o Arica, Southern Arica, the Caucasus and the Balkans.

Under the IRU-UNMAS project, the HALO Trust deployed six DeminingTeams (DT), one Battle Area Clearance Unit (BAC) and two MechanicalDemining Units (MDU) who worked over 45 dierent hazards, anddestroyed:

106 antipersonnel mines

200 explosive remnants o war

12 small arms ammunition

1 antitank mine

6,530 people who were living in direct threat rom landmines andERW in 12 communities, seven districts and our provinces benefttedrom the land cleared by the HALO Trust. The map shows the geographicallocation o hazards removed by the HALO Trust under this project.

HALO Trust and ATC were preselected to

implement this project as, geographically, these

two implementing partners had a long-term

presence in the project areas making them amiliar

with the situation o minefelds and battlefeldsand nature o terrains which required clearance.

The Salang Tunnel was selected as a project splitter

where its northern part was implemented by the

HALO Trust and southern part by ATC.

Afghan Technical Consultants (ATC)

Aghan Technical Consultants (ATC) is the oldest and largest non-proft NGO orhumanitarian mine clearance in Aghanistan. Established in October 1989 by thecurrent Director, Keayatullah Eblagh, ATC started demining operations in early 1990and has since then developed into a highly organised and efective NGO, employingsome 1,300 personnel.

Under the IRU-UNMAS project, ATC deployed six DT, one Explosive OrdnanceDisposal Team (EOD) and one MDU, who worked over 41 hazards, and destroyed:

1,769 antipersonnel mines

830 explosive remnants o war

3,243 small arms ammunition

The cleared land beneftted 7,387 people who were living in direct threat romlandmines and ERW in 30 communities, 11 districts and three provinces. The mapshows the geographical location o hazards removed by the ATC under this project.

23/32

The IRU took the initiative to und demining organisations in Aghanistan through UNMAS/UNOPS to clear bothsides o the highways connecting Kabul to Central Asian countries and acilitate sae transportation internationally.Fortunately, ATC was chosen by UNMAS/UNOPS to implement this vital project. During the implementation o this

project, ATC was able to clear 41 minefelds/battlefelds on both sides o the Kabul-Salang Highway.

In clearing these hazards, ATC also provided an area or schoolchildren and inhabitants o the villages to play andresume their normal lives. When Mr. Igor Rounov, an IRU representative, visited a site in Salang where clearanceactivities were completed in late 2011, the peoples satisaction with the IRU and the UN was very visible. The peoplesenthusiasm and appreciation towards demining activities o the IRU-unded teams were impressive.

Furthermore, implementation o this lie-saving project provided job opportunities or some 150 experienced Aghandeminers.

I would like to thank the IRU, UNMAS, UNOPS and MACCA or their initiative, timely fnancial support and cooperationto provide unds to ATC to clear these sites. I hope that, through their continuous support, we will have the opportunityto make our countrys highways and surrounding areas ree rom mines and explosives remnants o war.

The UN Mine Action Coordination Centreo Aghanistan (MACCA) inspectors conductedQuality Assurance (QA) and Quality Control(QC) visits to all clearance worksites to ensurethe activities were carried out in line with the

Aghanistan Mine Action Standards. In additionto the QA and QC activities, MACCAs regionalofces in Central, North, North-Eastern andWestern regions ensured that the demining assetswere used in an efcient way so that all hazardouszones covered by the project were secured ontime.

The IRU unded project was completed to theexpected level o quality. Both ATC and HALO Trustsaely and successully achieved their projectsplanned targets. MACCA continually monitored

delivery o the IRU project to ensure that it wasimplemented saely and in line with the nationaland international mine action standards.

Now we are very happythat there are no mines in thearea, and we are thankul thatour villagers came together and

requested Mine Action to clearthis area rom mines and otherexplosives. They nally cameand cleared the area rom thesehidden enemies to humans. Weappreciate mine action activities

rom the bottom o our heart.

Mohammad Ilyas,Resident of Gamandy village,Afghanistan

There were many mine accidents in this areabeore clearance and many people lost their legs, hands,eyes and even their lives, Ahmad Shah recalled. Now wehave many shops and oil pump stations in the area. This isa busy road and every day, thousands o passengers anddrivers pass by; some buy ood rom the shops and oil romthe pump stations. Now, we will be able to take care o our

amilies and communities.

Ahmad Shah, Resident of Godar, Afghanistan

Mines and otherexplosives let behind rom the

Soviet occupation and civil warhave created massive problems

or us. We were not able to

use agricultural land, grazingland, attend to our livestockand collect rewood rom thecontaminated areas or the road

or transportation. I rememberaccidents afecting both peopleand animals in my village. Theywere tragic and unorgettable.We are very happy with themine action operations here,

since it has already improvedour lives.

We can now reely walk anywherewe want, we can get our goats and sheepgrazing to those areas where we were notable to get them when it was contaminated,we can drive our cars and trucks to thehighway now and most important is that our

children dont have to walk long distances toget to school, they can go to school by bus.

Abdul Hakim, Resident of NayabAbad village, Afghanistan

One o the ways to strengthen our economy is to graze ouranimals, collect dairy rom them and sell it to local markets, but onlyi that village has been cleared rom mines and unexploded ordnance.
