The Marshall Legacy Institute is an organization that, among other things, conducts mine action programs to provide the countries affected by mines and explosive remnants of war with the resources and training they need to demine their territory and to address the long-term impacts of mines and explosive remnants of war, such as poor economic opportunities for the most vulnerable groups of society, long-term tensions between ethnic and religious groups and the lack of opportunities for education and leadership development for young people.
Among such programs are Mine Detection Dog Partnership Program, Survivors’ Assistance Program to help mine victims and mine survivors, Education programs - children against mines program, peace makers and problem solvers, peace through sports.
Among this year's award winners, who were presented at the Gala Dinner, were representatives from Iraq, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the USA.
