Landmine Clearance International (LCI) teams have over 16 years of experience working together, and have successfully completed projects in areas containing all extant types of mines and unexploded ordnance while working in challenging geographic, political, and cultural environments. The LCI teams operate by creating schools in close proximity to existing minefields in which they teach effective mine clearance procedures, including instruction in all the vocations essential to the support of the mine clearance operation. Most of those capabilities will continue to have utility after the local landmine problem is eliminated. People taught by LCI have medical training, mechanical, management, and engineering skills, all of which will make them productive contributors to their national economy in the future. Through superior training, close supervision, and efficient use of its financial resources, LCI empowers indigenous groups to organize and conduct their own independent clearance programs, and thus provides a fundamental building block for any national anti-landmine capacity.

To accomplish its stated goals, LCI can call upon one of the world's largest and most experienced cadre of explosive ordnance experts, including a number of supervisors known around the world for superior professionalism and expertise. Our approach goes far beyond indigenous de-miners; instead, LCI uses its own mine clearance operations as the catalyst for broad-based development of local economic infrastructure. The support requirements for safe, effective mine clearance are stringent. At every site, LCI can ensure that an expertly trained local staff meets those needs.
