Landmine Removal


Landmine Removal

HDI has been in the frontline of supporting landmine clearance establishing unique and innovative partnerships to fund landmine clearance projects around the globe. In 2004, HDI pioneered a new model for funding mine action by monetizing surplus U.S. food commodities and applying the proceeds toward the mutually reinforcing goals of demining and agricultural development.

Through partnerships, HDI contributed nearly $10 million for landmine clearance programs in Angola, Armenia, Eritrea, Laos, Lebanon, Mozambique, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, and Myanmar.
