Support for Mine Action

In 2010, Switzerland was Niger’s sole international mine action donor, contributing US$124,617 towards clearance activities.[1] International contributions were not reported in 2009.

Niger did not report any contributions to its mine action program in 2010.

In 2010, Niger was one of the 16 African states which received support from France in the form of the training of students at the Centre for Humanitarian Demining Training-West Africa (Centre de formation au déminage humanitaire- Afrique de l'Ouest) in Benin.[2]
