Support for Mine Action
In 2009, Zambia announced completion of its Article 5 mine clearance obligation,[1] however in 2010 Zambia remained affected by cluster munitions and other explosive remnants of war. Clearance of cluster munition remnants was completed in June 2010.[2]
In 2010, Norway was Zambia’s sole international mine action donor, contributing NOK2 million (US$330,846) towards clearance activities via Norwegian People’s Aid.[3] This represented an increase of 4% compared to 2009.
Between 2005 and 2009 Canada, Norway, and Sweden also contributed to mine action in Zambia.[4]
Zambia did not report any contributions to its mine action program in 2010. Zambia contributed a total of $1,368,504 towards its mine action program from 2006–2010, which was slightly less than international contributions to mine action totaling $1,651,470 over the same period.
