ITF Enhancing Human Security (ITF) is a humanitarian non-profit organization on a mission to strengthen human security and build resilient communities by reducing risks to peace and security through compassion, innovation, transparency and partnerships. Established in Slovenia in 1998 and formerly known as the International Trust Fund for Demining and Mine Victims Assistance, ITF has not only made significant contributions in the Southeast Europe with its humanitarian mine action programming, but also expanded its operations to a number of countries in South Caucasus, the Middle East, Central Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Hand in hand with an expanding geographical presence, ITF also recognized the need to address a broader array of challenges that put at risk societies affected by conflict and other crises. ITF’s principal area of action is and will remain humanitarian-development-peace nexus with the aim of achieving a mine-free world, improving livelihoods, promoting gender equality, protecting the environment, strengthening public health, and building resilience. ITF’s vision is a world free of threats to peace and security, where safety, well-being, prosperity and dignity of individuals and communities is assured.

For communities in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq 🇮🇶, mine clearance opens up land they can safely use again, supporting livelihoods and recovery. 🌱

Between May and September 2026, deminers from our local partner Iraqi Kurdistan Mine Action Agency (IKMAA دەزگای گشتی کاروباری مین - المٶسسة العامة لشٶون الالغام) cleared 339,774 sqm of land. They removed and destroyed 998 explosive items, including 178 anti-personnel mines and 820 items of unexploded ordnance.

Each item removed reduces the danger to people living and working nearby.

Through , Ministrstvo za zunanje in evropske zadeve RS / Slovenian Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs 🇸🇮 enables ITF to support IKMAA’s deminers in this work.

🐝 Five mine survivors in Bosnia and Herzegovina 🇧🇦 are now certified instructors!

After two years of training, they are ready to share their knowledge and help other mine survivors develop beekeeping skills and explore new income opportunities.

At the closing training in Banja Luka last week, they put their new skills into practice by training beginner beekeepers for the first time.

The project is implemented by Organizacija UDAS, Beekeeping Academy of Slovenia / Slovenska čebelarska akademija and the Agricultural Institute of Slovenia, through ITF with support from Ministrstvo za zunanje in evropske zadeve RS / Slovenian Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs 🇸🇮 .

ITF has carried out its first monitoring visit in Tajikistan 🇹🇯 under a new two-year project supported by the United States 🇺🇸, meeting with the Tajikistan National Mine Action Center (TNMAC) and visiting activities across the country.

The visit offered a closer look at work taking place on the ground, including land release operations and explosive ordnance risk education activities with local communities.

This project takes a comprehensive approach to mine action, bringing together clearance, risk education, victim assistance, information management and national capacity building to address the different impacts of explosive hazards.

This week, 16 children from Armenia 🇦🇲 affected by armed conflict are completing a rehabilitation programme at Debeli Rtič, Slovenia 🇸🇮.

Alongside therapeutic and creative workshops, the children have enjoyed swimming, kayaking 🛶, sports, a trip to Piran and time with Slovenian peers – creating space for support, connection 🫂 and new experiences. The programme helps children strengthen their psychological resilience, build confidence and support their well-being.

They also visited ZOO Ljubljana at the invitation of Dr. Aleš Musar, spouse of the President of Slovenia, and met H.E. Ashot Hovakimian, Ambassador of the Republic of Armenia to Slovenia.

The programme is implemented by Zdravilišče RKS Debeli rtič with the support of Ministrstvo za zunanje in evropske zadeve RS / Slovenian Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs through ITF.

Last week, Ukrainian experts conducted a technical visit to Syria to exchange practical experience and explore opportunities for cooperation.

The visit brought together Ukrainian and Syrian counterparts, alongside international mine action organisations, to discuss national mine action systems, operator certification, information management, prioritisation of contaminated areas, mechanical demining, innovative technologies and capacity building.

ITF is pleased to support this exchange and is exploring its potential role in future trilateral cooperation between Ukraine, Syria and ITF, building on the experience and expertise of countries affected by mine contamination.

The travel of the Ukrainian experts was supported by Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Republic of Korea 🇰🇷, whose continued support contributes to strengthening Ukraine’s international mine action engagement and knowledge exchange.

Last week, ITF conducted a monitoring visit to Syria 🇸🇾 to follow the implementation of its programme with local partner Reachout.

Over several days, we met the Reachout team, spent time with the people working in the field and saw the programme in action – from operations and to non-technical survey and emergency response drills ⛑️.

Seeing the work up close also puts its purpose into perspective. For people living with explosive hazards, knowing that an area is safe can make the difference between being able to travel, work the land or reach essential services, and having to avoid them.
It also demonstrates how sustained support can strengthen local capacity, enabling national partners to take an increasingly leading role in addressing explosive hazards 💪.

Supported by Ministrstvo za zunanje in evropske zadeve RS / Slovenian Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs 🇸🇮, French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs 🇫🇷 and, most recently, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Republic of Korea 🇰🇷, the programme helps strengthen local capacity and address the risks people continue to face.
