Since 2012, Sudan received over $9 million in international support to mine action activities, with contributions fluctuating from less than $70,000 in 2013 to $4.7 million in 2012.
Sudan estimated that $51.8 million would be needed for land release, risk education, and victim assistance activities, as well as other coordination and administration costs in 2013–2016.[3] This target had not, by a large margin, been met over the period.
