Myanmar: Land Mines

(asked on 13th March 2023) - View Source

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what funding they are providing for demining projects in areas of Myanmar not under the control of the military.


This question was answered on 27th March 2023

The UK Government does not fund any demining projects in Myanmar, as demining organisations are not permitted to conduct mine clearance activities there. Risk education is permitted, and this financial year the FCDO's Global Mine Action Programme (GMAP) is providing £600,000 in funding for UK NGO the HALO Trust and Mines Advisory Group to deliver this activity. Humanitarian mine action is a neutral activity, and the GMAP Myanmar programme currently delivers risk education to at risk groups and communities where conditions allow, regardless of who is in control.
