Many returnees and surviving residents continue to fall victim to the landmines and unexploded ordnance (UXO) that have been left behind in the wake of decades of civil war. In the short-term, effective education is the best way to protect these people from the dangers of landmines and UXO.

Building on our experience in Angola and Afghanistan, and in cooperation with UN organizations and NGOs working locally to carry out MRE activities, AAR JAPAN has developed materials that present MRE information in a way that is easily understood and suitable to the needs of the local people. AAR JAPAN has been visiting villages and returnee centers to offer MRE in Southern Kordofan Province.
