Support for Mine Action
In 2012, France contributed €1,528,750 (US$1,965,819)[1] in mine action funding, an increase of €563,797 ($724,987) from 2011. The increase is mostly due to reporting a larger contribution to the Centre for Humanitarian Demining Training-West Africa (Centre de formation au déminage humanitaire-Afrique de l'Ouest, CPADD) in Bénin. As in previous years, the largest contribution went towards general support for training at CPADD (€1,280,785/$1,646,961).
