Project Summary
The Committee on Missing Persons (CMP) Multi-Donor project aims to complement a larger EU funded and UNDP implemented programme of support to the CMP in Cyprus project.
The Project is designed to support the implementation of the CMP operations from 2017 to 2022, which is to exhume, identify and return the remains of missing persons. This objective is imperative and urgent to the process of rapprochement and reconciliation between the Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot communities. In parallel, with the participation of bi-communal scientific teams in all stages of the process, the project aims to build trust by bringing the two communities together.
The Multi-Donor project runs in parallel with the larger EU funded annual initiative.
Objectives
Recover, identify and return to their families the remains of persons who went missing during the inter-communal fighting of 1963 to 1964 and the events of 1974.
