Management

All of our Mine Action Projects are managed by country Project Managers under the guidance and supervision of the SARVATRA Board of Directors, the Funding Agency and the appropriate National or UN authority. Within a project, all applicable pillars of Mine Action are under the direct control of the Country Project Manager and his/her Project Officers who have the responsibility to maintain the strictest safety and quality standards
