Finance for landmine information

Raising Bosnian children's awareness of dangers.

Further to the visit of the Bosnian President [1], Monegasque Cooperation is to sign a partnership convention with the Genesis Project [2] association. The aim is to make children in Bosnia Herzegovina aware of the dangers of unexploded landmines and ammunition.

Bosnia Herzegovina Mine Action Centre (BHMAC) [3] estimates that there are still more than 650,000 mines and 670,000 munitions that remain unexploded in the country, the remains of the 1992-95 war. Since the conflict ended, more than 1430 people have fallen victim to landmines, 63 of them children. Monaco is allocating 30,000 euros, which will fund 84% of the project to make and broadcast 5 TV programs called From Puppets to Empowerment.
