2010 Remaining challenge: 14,849,631m² Target for the period 2009-2019:

14,860,000m².

Tajikistan addressed 17,565,639m² for the period 2009-2018 representing progress of (124%) against the target. 7 districts declared ‘mine-free’. During 2010-2018, previously unknown mined areas measuring 10,485,815 m² were identified. The highest rates of released land performed in the period 2010-2014 as a result of deployed mechanical demining assets in the flat areas of Tajik-Afghan border. Landmines & UXO Destroyed Land cleared and reduced 77,846 13,973,190 sqm Land cancelled by non-technical survey Total land released and handed over 3,592,449 sqm 17,565,639 sqm

Location of Remaining Hazards to be Cleared by 2025

Plan to address remaining contamination

Tajikistan has a remaining challenge of 249 hazardous areas measuring 12,098,210m². This includes: ▪ 154 confirmed hazardous areas measuring 7,907,210m² ▪ 41 SHA measuring an estimated 941,000m². ▪ 54 SHA measuring 3,250,000m² (Tajik –Uzbek border) During the extension period Tajikistan will address the following: ▪ 195 CHA&SHA measuring 8,848,210 m² ▪ This target excludes 54 SHA measuring 3,250,000m²

• n the Tajik-Uzbek border, that will be addressed once

a political agreement has been made. This 2025 goal is based on doubling current capacity. Resources Time 2025 2030

Follow-up activity

▪ Concept note for increasing capacity of FSD, Norwegian People’s Aid and Ministry of Defence circulated ▪ Concept note on the re-introduction of Mechanical assets into Tajikistan Mine Action Programme ▪ Work with ISU and UNDP on the initial launch of National Coordination Mechanism: including visit to a contaminated site– July 2019
