FIELD SUPPORT
IMMEDIATE OUTCOME 2 National standards are developed, adopted and implemented by states, according to international standards
1 NMAS needs assessment to be completed Thailand 4 NMAS to be reviewed and updated Angola, Cambodia, Ukraine, Vietnam
5 training courses/ workshops to be conducted (40 men, 20 women; 70% to show increase in knowledge and 50% to apply knowledge) Cambodia, Lebanon, Tajikistan, Ukraine, Vietnam 2 publications T Liability in Mine Action T NMAS Good Practice
to assist NMAAs in relevant processes. Building on work started in 2021, the Centre will finalise and roll out a series of templates for key NMAS chapters, which will provide roadmaps for the development of their content. These templates will be used to guide the process of NMAS assessment or improvement in requesting partner countries (Angola, Cambodia, Thailand, Ukraine, Vietnam). Building on previous work in Afghanistan and South East Asia, specific themes such as risk management and liability will continue to be a focus in 2022. Issues such as the need to define clear criteria for releasing land (at the stage of survey as well as clearance) and the establishment of procedures for addressing missed mines and other explosive ordnance, have been identified by NMAAs as areas that pose particular challenges in developing NMAS and other guidance that supports the land release process. This work will be expanded to other countries (such as Lebanon), will be disseminated in the form of new documentation, and will also be integrated into ongoing NMAS assessments.
International Mine Action Standards (IMAS) and national mine action standards (NMAS) form part of the normative framework for mine action and are designed to enhance the safety, efficiency and quality of mine action operations.
KEY PRIORITIES
High-quality NMAS—based on the latest IMAS and adapted to specific national contexts and needs—are fundamental frameworks allowing national mine action authorities (NMAAs) to verify the quality of services provided by mine action operators. In 2022, the GICHD will continue providing tailored support for the development or review of such key frameworks, with a focus on elaborating better tools
