Danish Demining Group (DDG) is a Humanitarian Mine Action Unit in the Danish Refugee Council (DRC). DRC is a non-profit organisation that works worldwide to help and protect refugees, internally displaced- and other conflict-affected persons.

The DDG mission is to recreate a safe environment where people can live without the threat of Landmines, Unexploded Ordnances and Small Arms and Light Weapons.

DDG operates with three strategic objectives that define the fundamental and specific aims of our operations:

• Enhance Human Security by clearing landmines and unexploded ordnance, reduce the threat from small arms & light weapons and by providing risk education and raising awareness
• Provide impact oriented, cost effective and innovative solutions in close cooperation with relevant stakeholders
• Support local structures and institutions with finding sustainable solutions to residual problems and in a manner that enables economic and social development.

We work to enable post-conflict communities to (re)gain access to their assets an support the efforts of governments, relief- and development organisation to enable recovery and community transition into social and economic development.

Our work is based on the Value Compass of the Danish Refugee Council

• Humanitarian approach - people´s right to a life with dignity takes precedence over politics and principles
• Respect - for the equal rights of human beings
• Independence and neutrality - in regard to our surroundings
• Inclusion - of the people we work to help
• Honesty and transparency - for all beneficiaries, donors, partners and others
