NPA’s core areas are International Development, Humanitarian Assistance, Humanitarian Mine Action and Disarmament, First Aid and Rescue Services and International Solidarity, Anti-Racism & Inclusion. In all our interventions, we continuously work to reduce our climate- and environmental impact.

Our presence in Cambodia dates back to 1992 providing de-mining assistance to Cambodia in order to prepare for resettlement of refugees returning from the border camps in Thailand. Today, NPA continues our mine action support towards a Cambodia free of mines, cluster munition and other Explosive Ordnance (EO), while our Development and Humanitarian Cooperation (DHC) program works on rights-based approach in a two-way partnership with local civil society. The strategic goal of NPA’s DHC program in Cambodia is for our civil society partnership programme to be valued by partners, donors and beneficiaries as critical and relevant for reduced economic and political inequality in Cambodia.
