In a landmark initiative for Cambodia, the Cambodia Mine Action and Victim Assistance Authority (CMAA) has introduced the Cambodia Mine Action Management Information System, a pioneering venture set to redefine the approach towards mine clearance and victim assistance in the country. This innovative system is launched as Cambodia prepares to host the fifth Review Conference in Siem Reap, which will see participation from 164 countries.
The Cambodia Mine Action Management Information System is poised to address the longstanding challenges of data management and operational efficacy in mine action efforts. It is designed to optimize the processes involved in mine clearance, providing aid to victims, and releasing land back to the community, thereby marking a significant step forward in Cambodia’s quest to eliminate the remnants of conflict from its soil.
A New Chapter in Mine Clearance Efforts
Ly Thuch, the Senior Minister and First Vice President of the CMAA, emphasized the transformative impact of the Cambodia Mine Action Management Information System. “This system marks the dawn of a new era in our committed journey towards a mine-free Cambodia. We are immensely grateful for the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Hun Manet, whose dedication to peace and development has been a guiding light. Today, we celebrate a significant milestone in our mission with the introduction of this system, a testament to the power of unity and innovation in overcoming the legacy of conflict,” stated Ly Thuch.
Shathel Fahs, a seasoned demining expert involved in the development of the system, highlighted its significance as a reflection of Cambodia’s innovative capabilities and its comprehensive approach to mine action. “The Cambodia Mine Action Management Information System is the core of our endeavor to secure a mine-free future for Cambodia. It embodies our dedication to excellence, inclusivity, and progress, ensuring a proactive, strategic, and decisive approach to mine clearance,” Fahs explained.
