The event was held in hybrid form (both in-person and virtual) at Kabul Star Hotel from 10:00 – 12:00 pm. This high-profile event was attended by high-level representatives from the government authorities, UN, and donor embassies in Kabul including H.E.

    H.E. Jailani, State Minister for Disaster Management and Humanitarian Affairs thanked all donors and stated that the Mine Action Programme of Afghanistan (MAPA) with financial support from donor countries has cleared around 3200 square kilometers of contaminated land from explosive ordnance.
