A finance practice for the clearance of explosive ordnance.
By forming strategic partnerships and offering expert financial structuring, we aim to mobilise capital for projects that mitigate the impact of mines and explosive ordnance. Our goal is long-term social, environmental and economic benefit — safer communities and sustainable development.

A sustainable finance expert with close to 20 years of experience in structuring nature and climate related financial solutions and mechanisms across the globe.
He has worked as an advisor to Ministries of Economy, Finance and Environment in Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Mongolia, Uruguay, Paraguay, Costa Rica and Fiji, as well as with international institutions — UNDP, UNEP FI, the World Bank and the EIB — and with municipalities, around nature, climate and SDG finance.
He has extensive expertise in the agri-food sector, working on agricultural fund structuring and project selection across Latin America, Southeast Asia and the EU. He is also experienced in sovereign debt structuring — particularly debt-for-nature and debt-for-climate swaps, SDG bonds, green and blue bonds and sustainability-linked bonds — and in sustainability standards and guidelines.

Why the practice exists.
Mine action is funded overwhelmingly by annual donor appeals. Clearance timelines run in decades; that funding runs in twelve-month cycles.
Sustainable finance has spent twenty years building instruments for exactly this mismatch — long-dated, outcome-linked, backed by sovereign or blended capital. Almost none of it has been pointed at explosive ordnance.
The practice was formed to close that gap: to bring nature, climate and SDG finance structuring into mine action, and to leave national institutions able to run the structures themselves.
Work with the practice.
Ministries, development banks, operators and investors — the first conversation is about what needs financing and who could carry it.
