Mine Action & Conflict Debris<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Program Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 2011, CAEP’s founders made a groundbreaking recognition: in post-conflict Libya, environmental protection cannot be separated from the urgent work of addressing Explosive Remnants of War (ERW). Landmines, unexploded ordnance, and conflict debris are not merely security concerns\u2014they are environmental hazards that contaminate soil, pollute water sources, prevent land use, and pose ongoing threats to human safety. This insight, articulated at the Libya Future Forum in Derna, established CAEP’s unique dual mandate and positioned us at the intersection of environmental protection and humanitarian action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Capabilities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

IMAS\/LMAS Certification<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CAEP is officially registered as a Mine Action Actor with certification under International Mine Action Standards (IMAS) and Libyan Mine Action Standards (LMAS). Our certified competencies include Mine Risk Education (MRE) and Victim Assistance, enabling us to contribute professionally to Libya’s mine action sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research Partnerships<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2013, CAEP provided research assistance to Harvard University, CIVIC (Center for Civilians in Conflict), and Altai Consulting for studies on abandoned armies and conflict aftermath. These collaborations produced valuable insights into post-conflict governance challenges and established CAEP’s credibility as a research partner for major international institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Community-Based Approach<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our mine risk education programs are designed to reach affected communities with life-saving information. We believe that effective mine action requires not just technical clearance but community engagement that empowers Libyans to identify, avoid, and report hazards in their environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Program Impact<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

CAEP’s Mine Action program contributes to Libya’s broader post-conflict recovery by addressing the environmental legacy of conflict. By treating landmines and ERW as environmental hazards requiring remediation, we bring an integrated perspective that connects humanitarian action with long-term environmental protection goals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
