Support for Mine Action
Support for Mine Action
The Philippines is affected by explosive remnants of war (ERW), especially unexploded ordnance (UXO), as a result of long-running, low-level insurgencies by the New People’s Army and other non-state armed groups, mainly in Mindanao. The extent to which it is also affected by mines is unclear.[1]
Since 2009, the Philippines has received a small amount of international support. In 2009, the United States contributed US$313,375 towards victim assistance activities.[2] In 2010, there was no international support, while, in 2011, Belgium contributed €8,250 (US$11,493) to Geneva Call for work in the Philippines.[3]
