Support for Mine Action

In September 2011, in its continuing support for the reconstruction of Afghanistan that began in 1997, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) committed US$25.83 million[1] to mine action to conduct community-based mine action services in Kandahar province. The UAE selected the US-based company EOD Technology (EODT) to implement the project. [2]

The first installment paid in late 2011 was for US$1,999,975.[3]
