Eritrea
Support for Mine Action
Since 2008, the government of the State of Eritrea has supported the logistical and medical supplies for the demining teams operating under the Eritrean Demining Authority, as well as paying the salaries of two of the teams, a contribution valued at approximately US$257,000 per year.[1]
In 2012, donors did not report any international assistance to Eritrea for mine action. The government of Eritrea has persistently refused to accept the return of international demining NGOs since their expulsion in 2005.[2]
