The government of Angola has contributed some $365 million to its mine action program since 2013, or 87% of its total mine action budget. In 2017, it contributed AOA7.4 billion ($45.1 million) resulting in a $48.2 million overall budget.[3]
In 2013–2017, Angola was one of the 10 largest recipients of international mine action funding and received more than $56 million. However, a downward trend has been apparent since 2013 with a continuous decline in international assistance that has dropped from $32.6 million in 2013 to just $3.1 million in 2017.
