amount of data that mine action programmes have gathered in decades of operations around the world. This will be complemented with bolstered research on explosive devices themselves, for instance through a new study on explosive ordnance ageing, continued work on land release in difficult terrain, and the regular updating of information in the Collaborative ORDnance data repository (CORD) database. As the technical knowledge of explosive ordnance constitutes an important basis for sound operational decisions, this work aims to bolster the efficiency and effectiveness of land release operations based on context-specific information and analysis. The dissemination of good practice on the land release process will remain a cornerstone of the GICHD’s contribution to efficient and effective mine action operations. In 2022, the Centre will implement a more strategic approach to knowledge dissemination by integrating e-learning and remote teaching methods with more traditional methods (in-person training courses), with the goal of increasing its reach to relevant practitioners and other stakeholders. Training courses and workshops will be offered on non-technical survey (NTS), technical survey, operational efficiency and quality management.
The improvement and implementation of the land release process makes it possible to realise considerable time and cost savings, while ensuring the quality of land release outputs and without compromising operators’ safety.

KEY PRIORITIES
The implementation of land release in affected countries is fundamental to save lives and allow communities to use land for productive purposes. Land release is, however, a costly and resource- intensive undertaking that carries with it certain risks. In 2022, in addition to its traditional focus on the effective implementation of existing land release methodologies, the GICHD will pursue innovation and enhance research on new tools and equipment for land release (such as remote sensing technologies and aerial platforms), as well as on new methodologies allowing the sector to better use the tremendous
