The vision of Norwegian People's Aid is Solidarity in Action. We are a politically independent membership-based organisation working in Norway and in more than 30 countries around the world. Founded in 1939 as the labour movement’s humanitarian solidarity organisation, NPA aims to improve people’s living conditions and to create societies that are more just and more democratic. NPA’s international work covers three core areas: Mine Action and Disarmament, Democratisation and Just distribution of power and resources and Humanitarian Action and Crises response.

NPA’s presence in Cambodia dates back to 1991 providing de-mining assistance to the Cambodian Mine Action Centre (CMAC) in order to prepare for resettlement of refugees returning from the border camps in Thailand.
