<p>The UK Government does not fund any demining projects in Myanmar, as demining organisations
are not permitted to conduct mine clearance activities there. Risk education is permitted,
and this financial year the FCDO's Global Mine Action Programme (GMAP) is providing
£600,000 in funding for UK NGO the HALO Trust and Mines Advisory Group to deliver
this activity. Humanitarian mine action is a neutral activity, and the GMAP Myanmar
programme currently delivers risk education to at risk groups and communities where
conditions allow, regardless of who is in control.</p>
