Support for Mine Action

In 2012, nine donors contributed US$13.7 million to APOPO, HALO Trust, Handicap International, Norwegian People’s Aid, and UNDP for clearance operations in the Republic of Mozambique.[1] Mozambique has made considerable progress in clearing mined areas; it announced in May 2013 that it planned to complete all clearance by the end of 2014.[2]

In 2012, Mozambique contributed $2,213,088 towards its mine action program.[3] Since 2008, the government of Mozambique has contributed approximately 20% of the total mine action budget.
