SWEDEN CONTRIBUTES $800,000 FOR HUMANITARIAN DEMINING
AND SUPPORT FOR LANDMINE VICTIMS IN NICARAGUA
July 27, 2006
The Organization of American States (OAS) received a contribution of some $800,000 from Sweden to continue anti-landmine efforts in Nicaragua and to support, among other projects, an OAS-coordinated rehabilitation and social reintegration program for victims and an educational prevention campaign called “Safe Step without Mines.”
The contribution was made through the Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA), based on a cooperation agreement signed between Sweden and the OAS in September 2002. The humanitarian operations will continue to be coordinated through the OAS Mine Action Program.
Thanks in large part to the Swedish government’s financial support, the operations included in the Nicaraguan National Demining Plan have advanced by about 90%. In 1990, more than 550,000 people in the country lived within five kilometers of an area with landmines; as of this year, that number has been reduced to under 45,000.
Since 1996, Sweden has supported the OAS humanitarian demining program in Nicaragua by funding one of the main landmine-removal units in the country. This unit, located in Nueva Segovia province, is made up of 100 sappers – soldiers from the Nicaraguan Army Core of Engineers – with technical assistance provided by the Inter-American Defense Board (IADB).
The program has helped more than 800 landmine victims. Of these, 200 have received vocational training with the support of Nicaragua’s National Technological Institute. These activities are also coordinated through the OAS Mine Action Program.
With the financial support of countries such as Sweden, the United States, Canada, Norway and Italy, the OAS rehabilitation and social reintegration program is considering an expansion to assist landmine victims not only in Nicaragua but also in Honduras.
The program recently helped three Nicaraguan children who had lost their sight as a result of landmine accidents. The children received medical care in their own country and completed the physical rehabilitation process in Costa Rica.
