About NMAC

Brief Overview

With coordination and management support of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), Sri Lanka’s mine action programme was first established in 2002. Sri Lanka’s Cabinet officially approved the establishment of NMAC in 2010, resulting in the programme’s transition from UNDP-management to full national ownership.

Staff Transition

Over a decade after the civil war ended, Sri Lanka has reached the final stage of mine action activities. The combined workforce of the four humanitarian mine action operators (MAG, HALO, DASH, and SHARP) comprises over 2,500 staff, including one-third women, residing in the Northern and Eastern Provinces.
