Norwegian People's Aid

The vision of Norwegian People's Aid is Solidarity in Action. We are a politically independent membership-based organisation working in Norway and in more than 30 countries around the world. Founded in 1939 as the labour movement's humanitarian solidarity organisation, NPA aims to improve people's living conditions and to create a democratic, just and safe society. NPA's international work covers three core areas: Mine Action and disarmament, Development and Humanitarian relief aid.

The Norwegian People’s Aid has a long history in Cambodia, having worked in the country since 1992, initially in support of efforts to repatriate Cambodian refugees returning from Thailand. NPA’s vision is a Cambodia where landmines, cluster munitions and other explosive remnants of war no longer pose a risk to people, and are no longer an obstacle to development.
