A humanitarian, non-profit organisation devoted to enhancing human security and eliminating the threat from landmines/ERW. ITF Enhancing Human Security (ITF) is a humanitarian, non-profit organization established by the Government of the Republic of Slovenia in March 1998. Formerly known as the International Trust Fund for Demining and Mine Victims Assistance, ITF’s initial purpose was to assist Bosnia and Herzegovina in the implementation of its peace agreement and to provide assistance and support in the country’s post-conflict reconstruction. Since its inception, ITF has made significant contributions in bringing about regional stability, post-conflict reconstruction and development of the war-torn Southeast Europe. On the basis of this success and the need of conflict affected communities, ITF has expanded its operations to a number of developing countries in the Middle East, Central Asia, Africa, South Caucasus, and Latin America.

Hand in hand with an expanding geographical presence, ITF has also recognised the need to address a broader array of challenges that put at risk post-conflict societies affected by landmines/explosive remnants of war and other impacts of armed violence. ITF’s programmes cover the entire spectrum of humanitarian mine action: landmine/explosive remnants of war (ERW) clearance including cluster munitions, mine risk education, victim assistance, physical security and stockpile management, weapons, ammunition surplus destruction and beyond.
