Steps have been taken to bring the ATC management to standard level and everybody has his\/her responsibility to work accordingly with management standards. In this respect, ATC established language, computer, courses for demining staff that want voluntarily to join and improve their English and computer proficiency. ATC also introduced its senior staff both in HQ and Field to Middle Management courses to promote and improve their management skills.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
    Besides, ATC in its second decade of operations, started to decentralize the organization and improve quality management as well.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
