Description

This report details the U.S.äó» Conventional Weapons Destruction (CWD) Program, a collaborative effort by the Dept. of State, Dept. of Defense (DOD), U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of the Dept. of Health and Human Services (HHS). These agencies strive to help countries recover from conflict and create safe, secure environments to rebuild infrastructure, return displaced citizens to their homes and livelihoods, and establish situations conducive to stability, nonviolence, and democracy. From its initial focus on landmines dating back to 1993, the CWD program has expanded to encompass remediation of all explosive remnants of war, as well as the destruction of excess, loosely secured, or otherwise at-risk small arms and light weapons (SA/LW), including man-portable air-defense systems (MANPADS) and munitions. In 2011, the U.S. continued to lead the international donor community in providing assistance for the clearance of landmines and explosive remnants of war, as well as the destruction of at-risk and unsecured weapons and munitions.Figures. This is a print on demand report.
