FIELD SUPPORT
IMMEDIATE OUTCOME 3 States and other partners use quality information to support their programming and operational management
4 states to improve their IM capacity score as per the GICHD’s IM capacity development framework Ukraine, Yemen, 2 additional countries 4 baseline assessments to be conducted Lebanon, Ukraine, Yemen, Pacific island states (several) 10 states to adopt the GICHD IMSMA tool Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cambodia, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Serbia, Somalia, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Vietnam
4 states/other partners to incorporate humanitarian and development datasets into their IM systems (IMS) 3 training courses/ workshops (36 participants; 75% to acquire knowledge)
year, the GICHD will particularly focus on accelerating the transition to Information Management System for Mine Action (IMSMA) Core, including by offering a lighter touch approach for states that only need ad-hoc support; proactively pursuing funding opportunities and private sector partnerships; and offering more training opportunities using scalable online delivery. Attention will also continue to be paid to facilitating the integration of humanitarian and development datasets into national IM systems of selected beneficiaries. The GICHD will also foster innovation as the sector taps into the power of IMSMA Core for, inter alia, advanced analytics, workflows, processing imagery, and artificial intelligence. The Centre will launch a webinar series for IM field staff to exchange and showcase innovations, with further developments planned for 2023 relating to an app exchange to share IMSMA add-on solutions across organisations. Both initiatives aim to elevate the voice of IM professionals from national authorities, by offering a platform to showcase their innovations. Focus will also be placed on expanding partnerships by broadening agreements with key technology partners, defining a structure of certified IMSMA implementers, and updating the IM support frameworks with beneficiary organisations.
Information management (IM), the practice of turning raw data into useful and usable information for evidence-based decision-making, contributes towards managing and ultimately reducing explosive ordnance risk.
KEY PRIORITIES
Effective IM, including the availability of skilled personnel and up-to-date and fit-for-purpose systems, is fundamental for mine action actors to effectively leverage information towards evidence-based operational and strategic decision-making. In 2022, the GICHD will continue to provide state-of- the-art solutions, training programmes and tailored assistance to ensure that adequate systems and capacities are in place, based on specific IM capacity assessments carried out by the Centre.
