Support for Mine Action
In 2012, the government of the Republic of Azerbaijan contributed US$10.4 million to mine action through the Azerbaijan National Agency of Mine Action (ANAMA); this is approximate to the amount contributed in 2011. This amount also represents one of the largest contributions in terms of percentage that a national government contributes to its own mine action program. Since 2008, the government of Azerbaijan has contributed 82% of the total cost of the program.
International support in 2012 was slightly more than the five-year average of $1.9 million. The NATO Partnership for Peace (PfP) program, combined with $257,816 from Norway, contributed $1,784,733 specifically towards the clearance of the former Soviet-era training base at Jeyranchel on the Georgia-Azerbaijan border.
