The U.S. Government has made an 840 thousand dollar donation to the humanitarian mine action program run by the Organization of American States (OAS). The grant, channeled through the State Department’s Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement, supports humanitarian demining in severely affected communities in Colombia through January 2010.
This donation will work in several ways to benefit Colombians whose lives have been disrupted by the use of landmines by insurgent groups. The OAS program not only focuses on clearing landmines that threaten rural communities, it also coordinates these efforts with the people living in these areas and provides them with mine risk education, assists landmine victims, and funds micro-projects to restore cleared lands to productive use.
Due to the decades-long internal conflict, landmines have been dispersed throughout Colombia and are currently found in 31 of its 32 departments. Communities in Antioquia, Meta, and Nariño departments are among those with heavy concentrations of mine-related incidents. In an effort to reduce landmine victims, enhance the safety of the population, assist landmine accident survivors, and encourage the return of displaced populations the OAS program is currently engaged in these communities alongside the Colombian government.
The OAS program has assisted Colombia’s Presidential Program for Mine Action since 2005 in recovering mine affected communities, largely thanks to U.S. donations, and in clearing 35 minefields that were used to protect military installations, with the support of other international donors including Canada, Italy and Spain. The OAS is now seeking additional donations that will permit Colombia to increase its humanitarian demining capacity and extend mine clearance operations to as many as 12 departments by the beginning of 2011.
