CMAC ANNUAL DEMINING ACHIEVEMENT REPORT

JANUARY – DECEMBER 2017

1. General Situation

Landmine and Explosive Remnants of War (ERW) problems in occur across the country and present a constant risk and area real barrier to development in both town and the country, especially for agricultural activities in rural areas. Most of the infrastructure and resources that were broken during the war need to be restored and strengthened to assist in developing all parts of the agriculture and natural resource sectors.

CMAC, as the national humanitarian demining operator, is working hard on this matter in order to save lives and support development of the Cambodian people. Today, CMAC continues to undertake a number of bilateral and counterpart projects in order to support its demining management plan, as set out in the annual integrate work plan 2017, as well as in CMAC’s 5-year strategic work plan from 2015-2019.

However, from January to December 2017, 237 working days were assigned and limited for all CMAC Demining Unit (DU), Technical Institute of Mine Action (TIMA), and Development Demining Unit (DDU) and CMAC Central Headquarter to respond the demining tasks to all communities’ needs, local authorities, stakeholders, Royal Cambodian government and NGOs for safe environments, development and risk reduction from the threats of landmines/ERW in Cambodia. Within this period, 148-day was for public holiday, weekend and compulsory annual leave days.

2. Deployment Tools (Asset)

From January to December 2017, CMAC demining resources were assigned to the various CMAC’s Demining Unit, Head Quarter, Development Demining Unit (DDU) and CMAC Technical Institute of Mine Action (TIMA). However, all CMAC demining teams are still working to support many landmine/ERW high priority clearance tasks selected through the National Planning Mechanism, often refers to as MAPU process, as participatory and bottom up approach methods to mine action planning; and urgent humanitarian and development supported tasks requested by local authorities and mine/ERW affected communities. The following table 1 shows us the demining tools (asset) by each Demining Unit for December 2017.

a) Completion Minefield in 2017:

Saving Lives and Supporting Development for Cambodia Page 16 of 32 DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING & OPERATIONS

During the reporting period, all Demining Units completed at least 873 mine/ERW fields. All completed mine/ERW fields have been handed over to the local authorities and communities for productive purposes in accordance with their requests. Among those minefields cleared, it shows the number of beneficiaries as shown in table 6:

b) Number of Minefield and Socio Beneficiaries in 2017

CMAC mine action activities contribute significantly to the country in terms of mine/UXO casualty reduction. They also contribute to the enhancement of livelihood, settlement, socio-economic and infrastructure activities for individual and also for the affected community development so as to meet the National Strategy in poverty reduction. Without demining, most development activities cannot be taken place caused by landmine and UXO contamination. Therefore, the CMAC’s mine action activity is still at the top important issue and requirement of the Royal Government of Cambodia to

assist Cambodians’ people and develop its country as well

without the threats of mine/ERW.

Similar to previous years, socio-economic benefits gained in 2017. In total, land and ERW clearance in 2017 benefited in total amount of 77,627 families, which included 4,442 families directly and 72,436 families indirectly as well as approximately 749 students.

A large portion of the cleared land is used to support development, resettlement and agriculture activities, and a small portion goes to humanitarian and emergency purpose. There were 7 categories of land use, after land clearance in 2017 and cleared land allocation in square meters and

percentage is shown in table 6.

c) Land Released Productivities from January up to December 2017

The overall progress achievement from January to December 2017 was 104,052,429m², which 14,273,881m² was released as C1 and 17,719,409m² was released as C2 and 56,699.988m² was released as C3 and 15,359,151m² was released by of areas cleared as called Survey and Spot Check for Safety without sketches respectively. In addition to this, at least 16,766 items of Mine/ERW, (3,696 APM including 25 Improvised Mines), 54 Anti Tank mines and 13,016 ERW) were found in the affected landmine and UXO contamination areas to destroy safely. And it should be noted that these figures (mine/UXO found) as mentioned above are not included with the number of devices found and destroyed by EOD teams during the reporting period.

d) EOD Team Operational Achievement

During the report period, CMAC deployed 2 EOD teams at CMAC Technical Institute of Mine Action (TIMA) and CMAC HQ Phnom Penh but there are other demining tools to EOD jobs so-called BAC, TSC, ERWI, BAC-MTT …etc they were deployed at DU1, DU2, DU4, DU5, DDU and CMAC Headquarter to collect and destroy mine/ERW reported by local authorities, local people, policemen and NGOs. They did this to provide a safe environment free from the threat and fear of mines and ERW in the country. Regarding this activity, those teams achieved the following results:

By the way, in results to compare the number of requests (EOD calls) from January to December 2017, it is 44.16% lower than yearly target plan 2017 (as of 9,000 requests). They did this to provide a safe environment from the threat and fear of mines and ERW in the country. Regarding this activity, those teams achieved the following results:

Table 8:

e) Mine Risk Education and Reduction (MRE)

In addition to the landmine and UXO clearance as called land release, CMAC also deployed 21 CBMRR District Focal Point (DFP) throughout the country to

Saving Lives and Supporting Development for Cambodia Page 20 of 32 DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING & OPERATIONS

conduct mine risk education and reduction (MRE) activities directly to local and vulnerable people who are living in mine/UXO affected areas to understand as well the mine and UXO incident, threatening and stay away for individual and family safety, especially to avoid from any tampering on unknown items. 5 District Focal Point (DFP) networks in DU1 and 16 District Focal Point (DFP) networks in DU2. However, the remaining CBMRR, demining teams and platoons are still doing their tasks as well to conduct MRE to local communities, authorities and NGOs staff. Regarding this, at least 9,330 MRE sessions to 159,132 audiences, and visited 6,071 households and collected 1,794 community's requests, were carried out by all CBMRR and demining platoons and mobile teams during the reporting period from January to December 2017.

Regarding the Table 10 above, the actual progress from January to December 2017 is 104,052,429m². If this is compared to the overall CMAC yearly clearance target (as of 100,500,000m2) in IWP 2017, it presents 103.53% and or it is 3.53% higher than yearly target IWP. But if this progress of 104,052,429m² is compared to the CMAC Yearly Actual clearance target (as of 74,975,000m²) for the same period in 2017, it presents at least 138.78% and/or it is 38.78% higher than the Actual CMAC yearly clearance target 2017.

3) Progress Achievement by Demining Units

The purpose of setting out the planned target to all Demining Units is for CMAC Internal Monitoring activity at CMAC Senior Level and also to reflect progress achievement against the annual work plan based on existing projects, project target, demining resources, clearances techniques and methodologies of CMAC. However, DU4

Saving Lives and Supporting Development for Cambodia Page 23 of 32 DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING & OPERATIONS

had planned resources more than actual resources the beginning of 2017 and TIMA activities focused on training. Otherwise, each Demining Unit was not set out the same standardized figures (Planned Target), this due each Demining Unit consists of different projects, resources, timeframe and budgeting to perform at different terrain and locations. Regarding this, the table 11 below shows us each Demining Unit progress achieved against the planned target of each DU, starting from January to December 2017.

Table 12:

Even achievement reached the IWP target 2017 but some reasons are encountered during the performing period for some DUs that made them unachievable the clearance achievement against IWP target 2017 as the following points:

1. DU4 has planned deployment tools more than actual ones the beginning in 2017.

2. TIMA has 3 ERWI teams the same as planned deployment tools but these teams focused on training the beginning in 2017.

4) Progress Achievement by Project:

Saving Lives and Supporting Development for Cambodia Page 24 of 32 DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING & OPERATIONS

In addition to the progress by each DU and by demining tools, CMAC is still implementing and recording the progress by each project including the bilateral and earmark projects. Regarding this, the two different projects hereinafter called (the Clearing for Results “CFR11”) at DU1 and (the Clearing for Results “CFR12”) at DU2 and other projects are presenting as below table 12:

5) Operational Factor Analysis:

Regarding the above progress mentioned, there have some more relevant reasons that made the productivity did not achieve the clearance target for 12-month period as the following:

1. Fragment Contamination (FC), in total 1,786,155 pieces found over a cleared area of 104,052,429 m². This is 0.02 pieces per square meter. In percentage of technical terms, it is:  93.28% of land cleared had only light fragment contamination, in the operational areas of all DUs,  06.72% of land cleared had medium fragment contamination, in the operational areas at all DUs,

2. The presence of personnel at work, in total (216,389 person-days):  89.23% of total field personnel were present at work  2.78% of total field personnel were assigned to attend CMAC training courses,  0.54% were on mission,  3.32% were on taken annual leave,  0.91% were on sick leave,  0.27% were on compensation leave  0.13% were on maternity leave  0.28% were on leave without pay  0.06% were on leave without permission,  1.58% were shortfall field personnel,  0.06% were absent ,  0.21% were on obligation leave (to work out of the project temporarily…etc),  0.62% were absent for other reasons

3. Working Hours, in total (180,296 hours-days):  78.30% of total times were working hours  1.06% of total times were the raining period,  12.61% of total times were the travelling hours,  1.49% of total times were the maintenance periods of all BC and DM teams,  0.39% of total times were the repairing hours of all BC and DM teams,  0.15% of total times were waiting periods to get spare part for repairing some BC and DM teams,

Saving Lives and Supporting Development for Cambodia Page 25 of 32 DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING & OPERATIONS

 0.16% of total times were the movement or replacing accommodation and transportation of goods; and BC or DM to the new location,  5.83% of total times were other reasons and or moved BC to assist other development.

4. The Mine Detectors, in total (144,197 mine detector-days):  59.59% of all mine detectors (MD) were actually used for the operations.  40.41% of mine detectors were not used due to deminers being absent or on leave, or detectors broken and being sent for repairs at the CMAC Central Workshop in ,

5. The mine detection dogs (MDD), in total (8,489 mine detection dog-days):  66.50% of all mine detection dogs (MDD/EDD) were actually used for operations.  19.90% of mine detection dogs were assigned to attend refresher training at the CMAC TC and  5.17% of mine detection dogs were sick and had to be treated at the CMAC Training Center.  8.43% of lack mine detection dogs.

6) Other Reasons Affecting Operational Progress:

a) Adherence to work plan

. During the reporting period from January to December 2017, DU4 and DU5 are still improving the Land Release Techniques, Process and methodology to eliminate the mistakes to their demining teams in terms of correction and prevention of any misunderstanding and technical aspects so that to urge them work well, speed up operations and progress to meet the planned target of CMAC Annual Work Plan as set out of the year 2017. . DU1 and DU2 are continuing to perform their operations smoothly on the Land Release Techniques, Process and methodology with a good result for all projects without any critical issues occurred during this reporting period.

b) Collaboration with others

. At least 873 mine/UXOfields have been fully completed and handed over to the land owners and local communities for productive purposes at Banteay Meanchey, Battambang, Pailin, Pursat, Siem Reap, Oddar Meanchey, , Kratie and various provinces in collaboration with the local authorities, MAPU and CMAA in doing the QA/QC activities before releasing land safely. In addition to this, during the reporting period all DUs have also cooperated with MAPU, local authorities, NGOs, stakeholders and other development partners in Banteay Meanchey, Battambang, Pailin, Pursat, Siem Reap, Oddar Meanchey, Preah Vihear, Kampong Thom, Kampong Cham, Kratie, Prey Veng, Svay Rieng and southeastern to collect the mine/UXO clearance requests for their next clearance planning.

c) Challenges and actions taken

Demining Unit 1:

. It rains heavily and it was flood on some minefields this month. So some deminers walk on foot to the minefileds. . A year by year, minefields are far away and it is very difficult to access during raining and season. . Some operational material/equipment is broken and older. . Deep search detectors are old and loose its camlocks.

Demining Unit 2: . It rains frequently. . There was dense vegetation in some areas.

Saving Lives and Supporting Development for Cambodia Page 26 of 32 DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING & OPERATIONS

. Some areas were mineralized soils. . There was a lot of fragmentation. . Some operational material/equipment such as grass cutters and hand cutting tools are broken.

Demining Unit 4 . It rains frequently. . There were dense vegetations. . Some areas were mineralized soils. . Some fields are the plateaus.

Demining Unit 5: . It rains heavily to interrupt operational clearance for field operators. . Mobile teams moved often because access road to UXO fields was flood this month. . There were dense vegetation, soil as solid as rock and mineralized soils in some areas. . It was hard for mobile teams to access the UXO fields because of raining in earlier this year. . There were insects in some UXO fields to disturb operational clearance. . The ERW requests from local authorities were not taken place on time due because of remote places.

MDD/EDD Program at TC:

. No any female dog showed heating sign for breeding. . Heavy rain affected dog training at training fields. . Some dog materials at the fields are damaged and old and have to be replaced.

Safety and Occupational Health

- During the report period from January to December 2017, There were neither critical issues nor accidents at all DUs for this reporting period, especially the safety principle and staff healthy were strengthened and suffused to all mobile platoons and teams about SOP, sanitation, epidemic diseases and food prevention.

- All DUs, there were no critical issues concerning to a safety principle and staff healthy happened during the reporting period.
