THIS PREVENTS ACCIDENTS AND QUICKLY RETURNS LAND TO COMMUNITIES FOR DEVELOPMENT AND SUSTENANCE, AT A FRACTION OF THE COST, LEAVING FUNDS TO ADDRESS YET MORE AREAS. APOPOS TECHNICAL SURVEY DOGS OR HERODOGS COMPLEMENT THE RATS BY MORE COST EFFICIENTLY FINDING THE BOUNDARIES OF A MINEFIELD, WITHOUT THE NEED FOR VEGETATION CUTTING, ACCELERATING APOPOS OVERALL LANDMINE DETECTION PROGRESS. IN 2023 APOPO CONTINUED TO CONDUCT MINE AND EXPLOSIVE ORDINANCE CLEARANCE IN CAMBODIA AND ANGOLA AS WELL AS OPENED NEW PROGRAMS IN AZERBAIJAN, SENEGAL AND UKRAINE. THE ORGANIZATION RELEASED OVER 13.4 MILLION TOTAL M2 OF LAND GIVEN BACK TO LOCAL COMMUNITIES, HELPING 50K PEOPLE RETURN TO THEIR LANDS AND LIVES FREE FROM THE THREAT OF MINES. IN CAMBODIA, APOPOS HERORATS AND HERODOGS PROVED THEIR INCREDIBLE SPEED AND COST EFFECTIVENESS, HELPING APOPO LAUNCH THE FIRST EVER DEVELOPMENT IMPACT BOND LINKING MINE ACTION AND AGRICULTURE DEVELOPMENT. ANIMAL INTEGRATION WITH MANUAL DEMINING TEAMS WERE ABLE TO CLEAR LAND AT FIVE TIMES THE PACE, AND LESS THAN HALF THE COST OF MANUAL DEMINER ONLY DEMINING TEAMS. BY THE END OF 2023 APOPOS MINE ACTION TEAMS WERE WORKING IN 9 COUNTRIES ACROSS THE WORLD MOZAMBIQUE, CAMBODIA, ANGOLA, SOUTH SUDAN, TURKEY, UKRAINE, SENEGAL, AZERBAIJAN AND ZIMBABWE. APOPO EXPECTS CONTINUED RAPID GROWTH OF ITS MINE ACTION PROGRAM, PARTICULARLY IN UKRAINE WHICH GREATLY NEEDS COST-EFFICIENT LANDMINE DETECTION SOLUTIONS. APOPOS TB DETECTION PROGRAMS WORK WITH OVER 130 PARTNER CLINICS IN TANZANIA, MOZAMBIQUE AND ETHIOPIA AND SUPPORTS THEM TO FIND AND TREAT MORE TB PATIENTS. FOR THIS, HUMAN SPUTUM SAMPLES ARE COLLECTED FROM PARTNER CLINICS THAT HAVE ALREADY TESTED THEM FOR TB, MOSTLY USING SPUTUM SMEAR MICROSCOPY. AT APOPOS LABS THE SAMPLES ARE MADE SAFE AND RAPIDLY RECHECKED BY TRAINED TB DETECTION RATS FOLLOWED BY WHO-ENDORSE CONFIRMATION TESTS. CONFIRMED RESULTS ARE INSTANTLY SENT BACK TO THE CLINICS THAT OVERSEE PATIENT COUNSELLING AND TREATMENT. APOPO RAISES PARTNER CLINIC TB DETECTION RATES BY 40. APOPOS TUBERCULOSIS DETECTION PROGRAMS CONTINUED TO HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT IN 2023. APOPOS DETECTED OVER 3,300 ADDITIONAL TB PATIENTS IN TANZANIA, ETHIOPIA, AND MOZAMBIQUE. THIS MEANS THAT MORE TB-POSITIVE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN MISSED BY PUBLIC CLINICS ARE NOT PUT ON LIFE-SAVING TREATMENT BEFORE THEY CAN INFECT OTHER PEOPLE AND PROLONG THE VICIOUS CYCLE OF TB. IN 2023, APOPOS TRAINING TEAMS CONTINUED TO DEVELOP RATS TO FOR SEARCH AND RESCUE AND TO DETECTION ILLEGAL WILDLIFE CONTRABAND, WHILE ALSO PREPARING NEW RATS FOR LANDMINE AND TB DETECTION. AND MONITORING THE WORK OF EXISTING RATS IN THE FIELD. APOPO WILL LAUNCH A 6 MONTHS OPERATIONAL TRIALS OF SEARCH AND RESCUE RATS IN TURKEY AND A 6 MONTH OPERATIONAL TRIAL OF ILLEGAL WILDLIFE CONTRABAND DETECTION RATS IN THE AIR AND SEAPORT OF DAR ES SALAAM. IF THESE PILOTS SHOW THAT THE RATS UNIQUE COMBINATION OF SMALL SIZE, AGILITY, HIGH PERFORMING OLFACTION SYSTEM, AND LOWER COSTS CAN ADD VALUE IN THESE CONTEXTS THEN APOPO WILL LOOK TO FULLY OPERATIONALIZE THEM GLOBALLY IN THE YEARS AHEAD.
