Support for Mine Action
Uganda did report any national contributions to mine action in 2009. Denmark contributed DKK3,100,000 (US$578,646) through Danish Demining Group for mine clearance operations. In 2008, Uganda’s landmine problem was defined as two remaining mined areas to clear.[1] As a result, annual contributions to Uganda have decreased substantially since 2007.
