MAG (Mines Advisory Group) is one of the world’s leading mine clearance organisations. MAG is a neutral and impartial humanitarian organisation that clears the remnants of conflict for the benefit of communities worldwide.

Saving lives and limbs...

MAG works in current and former conflict zones, to reduce the threat of death and injury from remnants of conflict. These include anti-personnel and anti-vehicle landmines, as well as rockets, missiles, mortars, grenades, ammunition, small arms and light weapons, and many more types of deadly items. So MAG don’t just carry out plain landmine or bomb clearance – some of their projects aren’t even about landmines. MAG educate people living, working and travelling through contaminated areas, to minimise the risks of them, their friends and families being killed or maimed.

...and building futures...

MAG focus on the many millions of people who benefit from their work. MAG release reclaimed safe land back to the local population, enabling recovery and assisting the development of affected populations. More than this, MAG tackle poverty by training and employing staff from the local populations, in order to build a robust and sustainable national workforce. More than 90 per cent of MAG's 2,300-plus staff around the world are natives of the countries in which they work.

...worldwide

MAG has worked in 35 countries since 1989 and currently has operations in Afghanistan, Angola, Burundi, Cambodia, Chad, Columbia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Republic of Congo, Gaza, Iraq, Lao P.D.R., Lebanon, Pakistan, Puntland State of Somalia, Sri Lanka, Sudan and Vietnam.

MAG is co-laureate of the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize, awarded for its work with the International Campaign to Ban Landmines, which culminated in the 1997 Mine Ban Treaty – the international agreement that bans anti-personnel landmines, sometimes referred to as the Ottawa Convention.

MAG (Mines Advisory Group) is a registered charity no 1083008.
