Support for Mine Action
Burundi has a small residual problem of antipersonnel mines, the legacy of more than a decade of internal conflict.[1] Major clearance operations involving international NGOs DanChurchAid and the Swiss Foundation for Mine Action were completed in 2008.[2]
In 2011, Switzerland contributed CHF171,636 (US$193,676) to Mines Advisory Group towards mine clearance.[3]
In 2010 or 2011, Burundi did not report any contributions to its mine action program.
