Operations are implemented safely, effectively and efficiently
In 2025, work under outcome 3 will focus on enhancing operational efficiency across the explosive ordnance risk reduction sector. The key goal will be to streamline ammunition management and mine action while supporting global efforts to mitigate explosive threats. By aligning with this outcome, the GICHD will aim to foster safer and more effective EORR practices worldwide. A central component of the GICHD’s efforts will be the topic of ammunition management. One of the key initiatives includes finalizing the Ammunition and Arms Management Validation System, as well as delivering training-of-trainers courses in Peru to significantly boost local expertise. The Centre will also expand its reach by engaging with multiple Latin American countries, offering mentorship to newly trained personnel and promoting best practices in ammunition management to ensure consistency across the region. Additionally, a research project utilizing the UN SaferGuard Toolkit will foster innovation in ammunition through-life management (TLM). Key focus areas include Bosnia and Herzegovina, Jordan, Moldova, Peru and Ukraine. In Peru, training and mentoring programmes will be emphasized, while Jordan will receive specialized support to improve its ammunition management systems. Ukraine will receive increased support in 2025, focusing on its
growing explosive ordnance contamination. The GICHD will also conduct baseline assessments and create work plans for countries with emerging EO risk reduction needs. This will strengthen national explosive ordnance risk reduction capabilities, ensuring compliance with international standards. In 2025, the Centre’s annual Innovation Conference will bring together global experts to share advancements in EO risk reduction, promoting collaboration and integrating new technologies and methodologies into global practices. The GICHD will offer technical expertise and capacity-enhancement to support partners in addressing threats posed by improvised explosive devices (IEDs), with an emphasis on risk management and disposal techniques. By incorporating IED-specific strategies into broader explosive ordnance risk reduction efforts, the GICHD aims to mitigate both conventional and improvised explosive threats. The GICHD will continue to strengthen and professionalize EO risk education by supporting professionalization and capacity enhancement through the EORE Advisory Group.
