HALO Trust — Colombia Humanitarian Mine Action

Current understanding

The HALO Trust receives State Department funding (via pass-through from The HALO Trust USA, Inc.) for humanitarian mine action in Colombia, including survey and clearance of landmines and explosive remnants of war from the country’s decades-long internal armed conflict. A $5.0M subaward has been documented supporting this work.
