| Description:: | The aim of this program is to save lives and prevent injury via the humanitarian clearance of landmines and unexploded ordnance remaining from the conflict of 1992-1994. The project will return contaminated land to the local population for productive use, in order to promote and enable subsistence living for the rural population through low-level agriculture, animal husbandry and foraging. The activities within USAID funding should be performed only in traditional NK territory which includes the territory of the all regions of Nagorno-Karabakh as defined by the Soviet-era Autonomous Oblast boundaries and not use the USAID funding for the activities in so called green villages located outside of these boundaries. |
