GICHD
The GICHD works towards reducing risks to communities caused
by explosive ordnances (EOs), with a focus on landmines, cluster
munitions and ammunition stockpiles. GICHD contributes to
the social and economic well-being of people and communities
across affected countries. In January 2017, iMMAP entered a
Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with GICHD. The aim of the
MoU was to jointly pursue and advance activities for the information
management (IM) capacity development, training and certification
as well as technical development.
Objectives
This project aims to establish a functional Information Management
System for Mine Action (IMSMA) that supports the National Mine
Action Authority´s strategic and operational management to enable
accurate reporting to its various stakeholders. Furthermore, these
IM flows are complimented through capacity building activities
provided to the Mine Action Center (MAC), the National Mine Action
(NMA) Secreteriat and implementing partners (IPs) on various
thematic IM related subjects based on the data captured from the
capacity building needs assessment survey.
After February 24th, resulting the lauch of the military offensive
by the Russian Federation in Ukraine, the project objectives
shifted from providing capacity building to emergency response.
The project team currently organizes and coordinates regular IM
Working Group meetings for all Humanitarian Mine Action (HMA)
stakeholders in Ukraine while maintaings the IMSMA Core Portal for
partners.
