UXO = unexploded ordnance. SAA = small-arms ammunition. Fragments are reported because their clearance requires the same care as for other objects until their nature is determined. There are about 4,047 square meters (m 2 ) to an acre. * Total area of contaminated land fluctuates as clearance activities reduce harzardous areas while ongoing survey identifies and adds new contaminated land in the Information Management System for Mine Action (IMSMA) database. Source: PM/WRA, response to <strong>SIGAR</strong> data call, 12/27/2016; PM/WRA, response to <strong>SIGAR</strong> vetting, 1/6/2017. State directly funds five Afghan nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), four international NGOs, and one U.S. government contractor. These funds enable clearing areas contaminated by explosive remnants of war (ERW) and support clearing conventional weapons used by insurgents to construct roadside bombs and other improvised-explosive devices. As of September 30, 2016, State-funded implementing partners have cleared approximately 205 million square meters of land (approximately 79 square miles) and removed or destroyed approximately 7.8 million landmines and other ERW such as unexploded ordnance (UXO), abandoned ordnance (AO), stockpiled munitions, and homemade explosives since 2002 (see Table 3.13). 375 In addition, survey and clearance are still needed on 63 firing ranges belonging to ISAF/NATO covering an area of 162.3 square kilometers (62.7 square miles). From December 2012 to June 2016, 40 hazards and a total area of 1,109 square kilometers (428.2 square miles) were cleared on ISAF/NATO firing ranges. 376 The estimated total area of contaminated land continues to fluctuate as clearance activities reduce hazardous areas, while ongoing survey activities find new contaminated land. At the beginning of this quarter, there were 598 square kilometers (231 square miles) of contaminated minefields and battlefields. During the quarter, six square kilometers (2.3 square miles) were cleared though the discovery of additional hazardous areas brought the known contaminated area to 607 square kilometers (234.4 square miles) by the end of the quarter. PM/WRA defines a minefield as the area contaminated by landmines, whereas a contaminated area can include both landmines and other ERW. 377 USAID, in partnership with the UN Mine Action Centre for Afghanistan (UNMACA), provides services for victims and survivors of mines and ERW, 116 SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL I AFGHANISTAN RECONSTRUCTION
SECURITY as well as for civilians affected by conflict and persons with disabilities, through the Afghan Civilian Assistance Program (ACAP). The goal of this project is to mitigate the short-term and long-term impact of conflict on civilians, including victims of mines and ERW. 378 UNMACA draws on its wider network under the Mine Action Programme of Afghanistan (MAPA), which consists of 50 international and national organizations, to access beneficiaries and communities. One of those organizations, the Mine Action Coordination Centre of Afghanistan (MACCA), collects casualty data on mine/ERW victims to help prioritize its clearance activities. According to USAID, ACAP funding will allow MACCA to expand its victim-assistance activities beyond service provision and data collection to include immediate assistance for individual survivors and their families. 379 The number of deminers working in MAPA total around 9,700, of which 99% are Afghan nationals. The high number of individuals involved with demining makes Afghanistan one of the world’s largest mine action programs, with the most coverage on the ground. Less than 1% of all security-related incidents targeted the demining community since 2009. 380 Between July and September 2016, MAPA reports the over 5,300 civilian victims received assistance and disability support services. The total number of beneficiaries since 2007 is 421,856. 381 Since January, the UN and mine action partners have provided risk education regarding mines and ERW to over 466,000 returnees from Pakistan. 382 The $30.2 million ACAP program has expended $19.6 million to date and will conclude in February 2018. 383 According to the UN, the security situation deteriorated significantly between January and October 2016, with incidents reaching the highest level since reporting began in 2007. Of nearly 6,300 security incidents between August 16 and November 17, 2016, 18% were improvised explosive devices (IEDs)—the second most prevalent form of attack after armed attacks. 384 Many of the IEDs used by today’s insurgents are much more powerful and cause greater bodily harm than previous IEDs. Disabled war victims are more often double rather than single amputees, as was more common a decade ago. 385 REPORT TO THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS I JANUARY 30, 2017 117
