Danish Demining Group (DDG) is the Human Security Unit under the Danish Refugee Council (DRC), specialised in clearing landmines and unexploded ordnance and reducing armed violence.
DDG’s mission is to recreate a safe environment where one can live without the threat of landmines, unexploded ordnance and small arms and light weapons.[1]
DDG operates with three strategic objectives that define the fundamental and specific aims of operations:
Enhance human security by clearing landmines and unexploded ordnance, reduce the threat from small arms & light weapons and by providing risk education and raising awareness
Provide impact oriented, cost effective and innovative solutions in close cooperation with relevant stakeholders such as local communities, government institutions and international collaborative partners
Support local structures and institutions in finding sustainable solutions to residual problems in a manner that enables economic and social development.[clarification needed]
DDG works to enable post-conflict communities to (re-)gain access to their assets and support the efforts of governments and relief- and development organisations to enable recovery and community transition towards social and economic development.[2]
DDG currently operates Mine Action programmes in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Myanmar, Somalia (including Somaliland and Puntland), South Sudan, Sri Lanka and Vietnam, and Armed Violence Reduction programmes in Côte d'Ivoire, Kenya, Libya, Somalia (including Somaliland and Puntland), South Sudan, Uganda and Yemen. In Liberia DDG has been involved in the development of legislation on small arms and light weapons in cooperation with local authorities.
DDG is a founding member of the Global Alliance on Armed Violence (GAAV).
