The Mines Advisory Group (MAG) is a global humanitarian, development and peacebuilding organisation founded in 1989. For more than three decades, MAG has delivered life-saving and life-changing work in over 70 countries: removing landmines, unexploded bombs and weapons that threaten lives, and helping communities recover and rebuild after conflict.
Today, MAG operates in more than 35 countries and has helped over 22 million people live safer lives.
Our programmes save lives, protect human rights, enable development and lay the foundations for peace and stability.

Our Aims for the Future
Guided by its Strategic Framework 2024–2028, MAG’s future vision is clear.
We have two aims:
- Increase our impact: Deliver high-quality, large-scale programmes that save lives and support sustainable recovery from conflict.
- Extend our influence: Use our experience and credibility to shape global policy, ensuring the voices of affected communities are heard and respected.
This is enabled by three priority areas of organisational focus:
- Strengthening of our systems: To drive efficiencies that support programme delivery and impact.
- The funding of our ambition: Through the raising of more money and ensuring efficiency in how we work.
- Our people and culture: Building an inclusive, global workforce, ensuring we have the skills, capacity and culture to deliver our programming and increase our impact.
Strategic Priority: Strengthening Our Systems
Strategic Framework 2024–2028 articulates our intent to “Strengthen Our Systems” – this priority is not only a commitment to ensuring we achieve efficiency through integrated and innovative approaches to our systems, but to ensure that our decision making is informed by strategic financial insight, supporting us to deliver high-quality, high-impact programming at scale.
As we enter the next phase of our strategy we are focused on:
- Building resilience through the retention and diversification of MAG’s income base.
- Improved financial control and strategic insight, including ensuring effective governance, business partnership support and compliance.
- Driving efficiency through effective digital transformation and innovation.
