GICHD Explosive Ordnance Risk Education in Residual Contamination Management

EORE is one of the five pillars of mine action. Over the years, a wide range of approaches to EORE have been used in mine action programmes worldwide.

Much less attention, however, has been given to how to approach EORE when dealing with residual contamination. Many questions arise, including whether there is a requirement to inform and educate people about a risk that is only residual, and if so, what this would look like.
