Central African Republic (CAR)

The Central African Republic (CAR) is faced with an increasing explosive ordnance threat following years of conflicts which continue to impact civilian lives and livelihoods and impede humanitarian access in the country. This explosive ordnance threat is coupled with a history of illicit flow of small arms and light weapons, undermining the stability and the rule of law in a context where the national authorities’ ability to manage and store weapons and ammunition is structurally non-existent. In response to the explosive ordnance threat and the weak weapons and ammunition management structure, the United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS), as a component of the Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA), mitigates the threat by supporting the explosive ordnance threat mitigation (EOTM) capacity building of the MINUSCA Force; building the EOTM capacity of the national defense and internal security forces; empowering the civilian population, UN personnel and humanitarians through explosive ordnance risk education and awareness; as well as building the country’s weapons and ammunition management capacity.
