Mine Action Support Group (MASG)

The Mine Action Support Group (MASG) is an information-sharing forum of donor countries and the European Commission. It facilitates discussions with the UN mine-action partners. The group is chaired on a rotating basis by various permanent representatives of donor countries. The United States is the group's current chairs.

The MASG meets on a regular basis to promote the information and knowledge sharing between donors and the UN Mine Action Team about their mine action activities and policy-making.

The objective is to simplify the coordination between donor states and to achieve greater transparency about funding availability and needs as well as to share different experience in combating the threats of mines.
