The conflict in August 2008 resulted with the threat of Explosive Remnants of War (ERW) to the civilian population of Georgia. Civilians remain at risk until these contaminated areas convert in to mine / unexploded ordnance (UXO) free areas. Therefore Information Management and Mine Action Program (iMMAP) an International Non Governmental Organization(NGO) is tasked to establish the Explosive Remnants of War Coordination Centre (ERWCC) to assist the Georgian government in addressing the ERW resulting from the August conflict with Russia, as well as legacy minefields remaining in the locations of the Former Soviet Union military installations.
ERWCC Mission Statement:
Eradication of landmines and Explosive Remnants of War, that remain a risk to the people of Georgia, by way of: mutual cooperation, careful coordination and planning, through dynamic leadership setting goals, and standards of excellence.
The Purpose: as the center of excellence on Mine Action in Georgia, coordinate the mitigation efforts of the Explosive Remnants of War plaguing Georgia.
The Business: the core activities — the “pillars” — of mine action: advocacy, victim assistance, mine risk education, demining (survey, marking and clearance of mines and unexploded ordnance) and stockpile destruction.
The Values: through responsible leadership; effusively address the “pillars” of mine action.
