Reviving the Dead Areas

Reviving the Dead Areas

The war ended nearly 40 years ago but Quang Binh and Quang Tri Provinces and many other areas in Vietnam are still affected by the heavy consequences caused by bombs and mines left over from the war. As a result, many domestic and international organizations have carried out campaigns on detecting and clearing bombs and mines to revive the “dead areas”.

Korea-Viet Nam Mine Action Project

The ‘Korea-Viet Nam Mine Action Project’ was launched in March 2018 to strengthen the governance and management of national mine action activities, as well as to promote people’s safety and development in areas contaminated with landmines and unexploded ordnance (UXO), also referred to as Explosive Remnants of War (ERW). Specifically, through this project KOICA and UNDP support the Government of Viet Nam in implementing the National Mine Action Program for 2010 – 2025 in a joint effort to ensure a successful outcome of the plan, known also as Program 504.
