Azerbaijan leads global demining funding, totaling over $1 billion, mostly for Ukraine, since 2020.

Azerbaijan leads global efforts in funding for demining, with total international support reaching over $1 billion, largely driven by aid to Ukraine. The country has cleared over 176,000 hectares of land since 2020, neutralizing thousands of mines and unexploded ordnance, though less than 1% of aid goes to national NGOs. Azerbaijan has not joined the Convention on the Prohibition of Landmines but has supported related resolutions since 2005.
