Support for Mine Action

The Republic of Chile is one of the few states that completely fund their own mine action program.[1] Chile has not received international support since 2007.

Since 2008, the government of Chile has provided more than US$23.8 million toward its own mine action program. In its Article 5 deadline extension request, Chile estimated it would provide approximately $60 million through 2020 in order to complete the clearance of all known mined areas.[2] In 2012, the government of Chile provided $5.2 million.
