The Peace Museum of Mine Action supports Peace and Development through Landmine/UXO Clearance in Cambodia. This Museum is the first under the direction of CMAC (Cambodian Mine Action Center) the authority responsible for clearing UXO in Cambodia. The museum contains a huge selection of Explosive Remnants of War and offers guided tours on the history of conflict and offers guided tours.
The Cambodian Mine Action Centre (CMAC) is Cambodia’s leading demining organization, working in the key areas of Survey and Land Release, Mine and UXO Clearance, Mine and UXO Risk Education and Training, Research and Development. CMAC currently has 1,715 staff across Cambodia, including a national office in Phnom Penh, six provincial demining units and a Training Centre in Kampong Chhnang, working towards the mission of "Saving lives and Supporting Development for Cambodia".
CMAC was established during the United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC) in 1992, in order to assist the safe return of thousands of refugees to their homelands across the country. Recognizing that the large number of landmines and UXO across Cambodia was a significant threat to post conflict reconstruction and continuing development, CMAC became an autonomous national organization in 2000 and developed a series of programs including landmine awareness, landmine field information, landmine and UXO clearance and training in landmine clearance to achieve the safe transition to peace and security for the people of Cambodia.

CMAC GOVERNING COUNCIL
The role of the Governing Council is to oversee the activities of CMAC and to give directions to ensure conformity with government mandates. It is also responsible for the approval of CMAC budgets, work plans, programs, accounts, and reports. As the tasking, external quality assurance, advocacy, and other national-level responsibilities will now fall with CMAA, the Governing Council oversight is focused on CMAC budget, structure and internal policies approval that will have to conform to any national policies and standards set by the CMAA
CMAC EXECUTIVE UNIT
CMAC Executive Unit is the core body which is responsible for demining activities. This body consists of a Director General, Deputy Director General and three departments: Department of Planning and Operations, Department of Support and Human Resources, and Department of Finance. The focus to date for CMAC has been on safety, effectiveness and efficiency. CMAC still needs to develop sound management capacity for its field operations to further enhance the issue of productivity.
