What is TMAC?

The Tajikistan Mine Action Center coordinates all mine action related projects in the country in order to ensure Tajikistan’s compliance with the requirements under the Ottawa treaty, which was ratified by Tajikistan in 1999. Founded in 2003 with the support of UNDP, the TMAC oversees Tajikistan’s efforts in the areas of demining operations, information management, mine risk education as well as victim assistance. It is the county’s focal point for all implementing partners in the field, the Government of Tajikistan, as well as the international mine action community. TMAC functions effectively as a center of competence in mine action and ensures a proper exchange of knowledge among all mine action stakeholders operating within Tajikistan.

What we do?

The legal framework for the Tajikistan mine action programme rests on the following instruments: the Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production, and Transfer of Anti-Personnel (AP) Mines and on their Destruction from 18^th of September 1997 (the Ottawa Convention) and the Protocols II and V to the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons (CCW)

Tajikistan acceded to the Ottawa Convention, also called the Mine Ban Treaty (MBT), on 12/10/1999, becoming a State Party on 1/4/2000. Tajikistan complied with the MBT Article 4 obligations by destroying all AP mines stockpiles before April 2004. Tajikistan complied with the Article 7 obligations by providing annual transparency reports to the Disarmament Affairs Department of the United Nations Office in Geneva (UNOG).

Tajikistan Mine Action Centre was established as a result of the agreement between UNDP and the Government and responsible for the coordination, planning, regulation and monitoring of all mine action activities in Tajikistan. TMAC reports to the Commission for the Implementation of the International Humanitarian Law (CIIHL) that acts as the national mine action authority and is responsible for mainstreaming mine action in the Government socio-economic development policies. The Commission approves national strategies, adopts national standards, and reviews TMAC annual plans, budgets and reports. The institutional framework of the mine action programme in Tajikistan is considered consistent with what is generally recommended by international standards.

The ultimate goal of TMAC is to ensure Tajikistan's compliance with the obligations of the MBT.
