Support for Mine Action

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]
