The project will cover ten communes of A Luoi district and other prioritized areas as suggested by the provincial People’s Committee.

It will survey unexploded ordnance (UXO) pollution in the communes and launch activities to handle ordnance there. In addition to that, it will make further surveys to define and classify areas with ordnance, and assess post-demining impacts.

The project will also help enhance capacity in information management and connecting plans of action in the province.

The MoU also allows DDG and Thua Thien Hue to set up cooperative relations to settle leftover UXO from the war, contributing to improving safety to locals and socio-economic development in affected communities through the humanitarian mine action program.

Addressing the event, Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Van Phuong thanked the Japan Embassy in Vietnam, the A.P Moller Support Foundation and the DDG for helping the province overcome the war aftermaths.

He expressed his hope that activities of the project will be implemented effectively, benefiting localities’ people and socio-economic development.
