Support for Mine Action
In 2009 and 2010 the government of Azerbaijan provided almost 80% of the country’s two-year mine action budget of US$21,451,921, one of the highest national contributions on a percentage basis for a mine-affected country.
The United States (US) and NATO Maintenance and Supply Agency (NAMSA) provided the bulk of international funding. The NATO Partnership for Peace Trust Fund and the NATO NAMSA cleared unexploded ordnance in Saloglu.[1]
The International Center for Mine Action in Goygol region trained mine action personnel from Afghanistan, Georgia, Jordan, and Tajikistan on information management, designing evaluations, and provided 10,500 risk education booklets and 500 teaching manuals to Afghanistan.[2]
