2009 To Walk the Earth in Safety: Reaching End States in the U.S. Humanitarian Mine Action Program

Report

Bureau of Political-Military Affairs

July 7, 2009

The U.S. Humanitarian Mine Action Program has provided a wide array of mine-action assistance—mine clearance; mine-risk education; mine survivors assistance; training of national program managers and deminers; training of medical personnel to render aid to injured deminers; personal protective equipment; robust 4x4 vehicles, specialized tractors and mine-resistant demining machines; mine-detecting dogs; metal detectors; ambulances for injured deminers and others harmed in a mine incident; aerial medevac capability; and much more—to a greater number of mine-affected countries around the world than those profiled in this edition of To Walk The Earth In Safety.

The United States has provided humanitarian mine-action assistance to nearly 50 countries since the inter-agency program’s formal inception in 1993. When a country reaches the U.S. government’s (USG) “end state,” it has sufficient indigenous mine-action capacity to handle any remaining landmine issues that arise or it has been rendered free from the humanitarian impact of landmines and unexploded ordnance (“mine-impact free”). It is accepted that limited external funds and occasional technical assistance may still be required. The chart below shows the countries that have met the USG’s end state.
