About Agency for Rehibilitation & Energy conservation in Afghanistan (AREA):

The Agency for Rehabilitation and Energy Conservation in Afghanistan (AREA) was established in December 1993 as a continuation of the GTZ DESP Project. As a non-governmental, non-political, and not-for-profit organization, AREA is dedicated to supporting the rehabilitation, development, and peacebuilding efforts in Afghanistan. Its central mission is to empower local communities, with a focus on grassroots initiatives to foster a prosperous and sustainable future for the country.

A key component of AREA's work is its Mine Action Program, which includes efforts to clear land contaminated by landmines and explosive remnants of war (ERW). The program, which began in 1995 with the Community-Based Mine Action Program (CBMAP), empowers local communities to take responsibility for clearing land and managing their own mine action efforts. This ensures that the program is sustainable and aligned with broader development goals.

AREA's approach integrates various strategies such as Non-Technical Survey (NTS), Technical Survey (TS), Mine/ERW Clearance, Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD), and Explosive Ordnance Risk Education (EORE), all aimed at making land safe for productive use. The organization operates through regional offices in Kabul, Herat, and Nangarhar, each responsible for project design and implementation in their respective areas.

Recognized as one of Afghanistan's leading NGOs, AREA is highly regarded for its commitment to humanitarian services, rehabilitation, and sustainable development. With strong partnerships at both national and international levels, AREA continues to play a vital role in Afghanistan's recovery, promoting peace, security, and environmental sustainability
