Support for Mine Action
At the Eleventh Meeting of States Parties in 2011, the Republic of Burundi declared that it had completed its Article 5 obligations. However, it subsequently reported at the 2013 intersessional Standing Committee meetings that it still had suspected mined areas to release and surveying was ongoing.[1]
In 2012, Switzerland contributed CHF70,000 (US$74,651) to Mines Advisory Group towards mine clearance in Burundi.[2]
Burundi did not report any contributions to its mine action program in 2012.
