The German Federal Foreign Office (GFFO) provides a total sum of 4 Million Euros (approx. 800 Mn LKR) towards demining activities in affected areas of the Northern and Eastern Provinces in Sri Lanka. The GFFO took this decision in the light of Sri Lanka’s accession to the Ottawa Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention, with the aim of assisting Sri Lanka to achieve the target of becoming a mine-impact free country by 2020.
