De-mining
Among the most crucial tasks to enable both reparation and rehabilitation
is de-mining. Every year around 1000 civilian Afghans are mutilated by mines. Since 1990 Afghan NGOs have de-mined approximately 60 square kilometres of
priority areas. It is estimated that around 350 square kilometres remains to be de-mined. At present level of funding and with the present capacity of the
de-mining NGOs - around 20-25 square kilometres per year - the mine threat in the rural areas will be present for generations to come.
