MINE AWARENESS IN THAILAND: A REVIEW OF NEEDS AND STRATEGY

The Thailand Mine Action Centre (TMAC) requested the Geneva International Centre for Humanitarian Demining (GICHD) to review the existing strategies for mine and unexploded ordnance (UXO) awareness education in Thailand and to make recommendations for possible future orientation. The specific terms of reference for the mission were to:

• Review the need for mine awareness in Thailand in the context of the national man action plan, and

• Identify possible future strategies that could enhance the effectiveness of mine awareness in affected communities along the border with Cambodia.
