In 2022, Angola did not provide information on the annual national contribution to its mine action program, though it financially supports the National Agency for Action Against Mines (Agência Nacional de Acção contra Minas, ANAM). The government of Angola is also the largest donor to the HALO Trust program in the country, financially supporting clearance in protected areas along the Okavango Delta, in Cuando Cubango province.[3]
