quality and based on the most up-to-date analysis and information, in 2022 the GICHD will continue to provide its double-pronged support for their development, updating and review. The GICHD houses the IMAS secretariat, which is neutral and separate from the GICHD’s work on substantive, technical developments to IMAS and outreach. As the Secretariat for the IMAS Review Board and Steering Group, the GICHD will support the effective governance of IMAS. On substance, efforts will be directed at the review of nine existing IMAS chapters, TNMAs and protocols that have not been reviewed or updated in recent years. The GICHD will also focus on implementing and developing e-learning platforms, with a view to facilitating access to individuals from under-represented groups, who may not have the opportunity to attend in-person training courses. Through AMAT, the GICHD will also continue to disseminate good practice according to the IATG Version 3, promoting their application to states and organisations. As an ex-officio member of the IATG Technical Review Board (TRB), AMAT will help to ensure that the guidelines remain of the highest quality and undertake reviews of IATG modules with TRB members on behalf of the UN SaferGuard Programme. AMAT will also continue to facilitate meetings of the TRB and Strategic Coordination Group.
Through its support of the development and dissemination of both the IMAS and the IATG, the GICHD has a key role in ensuring that mine action and ammunition management are implemented according to the latest international standards on safety, efficiency and effectiveness.

KEY PRIORITIES
International Mine Action Standards (IMAS) guide the planning, implementation and management of mine action programmes globally. Designed to improve safety, efficiency, and effectiveness in mine action, as well as to promote a common and consistent approach to mine action operations, they work as the key guide for the elaboration of more detailed documents such as NMAS, standing operating procedures and training materials. To ensure that the IMAS and accompanying Technical Notes for Mine Action (TNMAs) and Test and Evaluation Protocols (T&EPs) are of the highest
