In 2014, the Republic of Colombia received US$11.5 million of international assistance from 11 donors. The largest contribution was provided by the United States (US) and accounted for 67% of all international assistance.[1]

Of the total international contribution, the majority went toward clearance (58%), victim assistance (21%), and capacity-building (11%). Advocacy and risk education represented respectively 4% and 1% of all support. The remaining 6% was not disaggregated by the donors. Most of the funding for clearance was provided by the US to Halo Trust and to the Colombian Army through the Organization of American States.

In June 2015, the EU announced it would contribute €5 million ($5.6 million) to support the FARC-Colombian military humanitarian demining pilot project.[2]

In April 2015, the US announced it would increase its support for humanitarian demining in Colombia by $5 million over the next two years.[3]
