GICHD OUTLOOK REPORT 2024

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Geneva International Centre for Humanitarian Demining (GICHD) works to reduce risks to communities stemming from explosive ordnance. Guided by its new four-year Strategy (2023–2026), in 2024 the Centre will continue to help develop and professionalise explosive ordnance risk reduction (EORR) 1 for the benefit of its partners. It will do so by providing four distinct and mutually reinforcing lines of service: generating knowledge, disseminating knowledge, supporting the codification of knowledge, as well as fostering partnerships, dialogue and cooperation.

The Centre will continue to rely on a results-based management system to measure progress against its objectives and outcomes and to guide its planning and report on results. Such a system, which the Centre has implemented since 2015 and continuously refined and improved, is underpinned by a Theory of Change which defines strategic objectives and measurable outcomes supported by a monitoring framework. As outlined in this report, support for the development of capacities of national and international partners will remain a priority of the Centre’s work in 2024. Such support will be provided in thematic areas relevant to explosive ordnance risk reduction, such as: strategic planning; gender, diversity, equality, and inclusion (GDEI); explosive ordnance risk education (EORE); research and innovation; national standards development; and information management (IM).

In line with its traditional role, the GICHD will also continue to support both the mine action-related conventions and broader multilateral processes on conventional arms and ammunition, by bringing field evidence and expertise to the forums where norms are developed, and their implementation is fostered and monitored. The GICHD will continue to invest in and rely on tools aiming to facilitate the remote delivery of capacity development and technical advice, as a complement to its more traditional practices of knowledge dissemination based on face-to-face interaction. These blended methods of knowledge delivery increase access by national actors and hard-to-reach beneficiaries. Finally, with more than 90 staff from around 30 countries and speaking several languages, the GICHD continues to bring diverse backgrounds and expertise to its partners.

Ambassador Stefano Toscano GICHD Director

1 For the GICHD, ‘explosive ordnance risk reduction’ comprises mine action and ammunition management activities that are designed to reduce the risks posed to communities by all types of explosive ordnance.

GICHD OUTLOOK REPORT 2024

THE GICHD PILLARS The GICHD Strategy structure, comprises three pillars: the Theory of Change describes the purpose of the Centre and the impact it aims to achieve, distilled into strategic objectives and outcomes; the financial pillar lays out the priorities the Centre will pursue to improve financial sustainability and efficiency in resource management; and the institutional pillar summarises how the Centre will adapt its structures and processes to remain fit for purpose and in sync with its core values and working principles. A system of monitoring and evaluation will be applied to measure progress in these pillars and collect evidence that will provide the foundation for strategic steering, activity planning, and reporting.

FINANCIAL

The financial pillar provides the Centre with strategic guidelines to ensure an adequate level of resources to deliver impact in line with the Strategy and to develop the structures, processes and tools that allow these resources to be efficiently managed. The pillar’s action plan identifies four outcomes in the areas of funding, budgeting, cost efficiency, and financial resilience. In relation to funding, the GICHD aims to increase the level of core and flexible funding to enable the Centre to allocate resources across its five outcomes. In addition, the GICHD is exploring methods to implement a harmonised overhead cost recovery approach to ensure that the Centre’s projects are fully financed. In 2024, the primary source of funding will continue to be institutional. However, the Centre will be exploring the possibility of expanding and diversifying its donor base. Concerning its budget, in 2024 the GICHD will continue to revise the planning and budgeting processes. New tools (including new software) and processes (i.e., monthly closure and forecasting) will be implemented to monitor the Centre’s finances, analyse any deviation from initial targets and to take corrective measures, as necessary.

To achieve cost efficiency, the GICHD will be assessing its procurement process to remain efficient and save on costs. Investing more in insourcing rather than incurring outsourcing fees is a priority for the Centre. To this end, the Centre will continue to evaluate its inventory of digital tools to reduce unnecessary costs while an annual accounting depreciation will be applied to the inventory of the GICHD’s assets. The Centre will also collaborate with DCAF and GCSP to obtain better prices on travel fees and offices supplies. Other options will be explored such as the possibility of sharing space and staff, whilst the GICHD aims to remain an active member of the three centre’s IT forum. Finally, maintaining financial resilience is at the heart of the financial pillar. With the ongoing economic uncertainty – including inflationary and liquidity pressures – the Centre is looking ahead to emerging and escalating risks. In 2024, the GICHD will work towards maintaining adequate levels of reserves and liquidity. In the short term, cash flow management solutions will be applied to ensure that this is the case. The objective is to improve the collection and payment cycle. In the medium term, the GICHD aims to start conversations with donors to explore the possibility of generating operational reserves. The level of reserves is set to be defined at the end of 2023.

INSTITUTIONAL

The institutional pillar aims to support the Centre in adapting its structures and processes to remain fit for purpose and in sync with its core values and working principles. Guided by this pillar, the Centre will, in 2024, continue to modernise its internal practices towards building a thriving, efficient, and effective organisation that maximises the potential of its people. To achieve this goal, the following action plan that includes various outcomes and outputs has been laid out. First and foremost, the GICHD recognises the importance of developing the interpersonal skills of its employees. Effective communication and teamwork are vital components of a successful organisation. By focusing on fostering these skills among staff – including at middle management and leadership level – the Centre aims to create an environment where every individual contributes and feels empowered. In 2024, this will be achieved through workshops, training, and team-building exercises that will also focus on strengthening interpersonal relationships amongst team members. Second, to implement necessary changes, a review of the GICHD’s internal rules and regulations will be conducted to examine current policies and procedures. The organisation recognises the need for agility in today’s fast-paced world, and as such will prioritise the development of flexible policies and efficient procedures that can respond to changing circumstances and requirements; furthermore, it will incorporate a human resources information system

toolkit will serve as a resource to ensure that the organisational values are consistently reflected in all aspects of the Centre’s operations so as to foster a strong culture built on accountability, trust, inclusion, respect, innovation, and learning. Finally, the GICHD recognises the importance of environmental sustainability and aims to implement various activities towards promoting a greener future guided by its environmental policy. In 2024, these activities may include reducing waste, conserving energy, and adopting eco-friendly practices that will enable the Centre to minimise its environmental footprint, in alignment with the 2050 Today initiative.

that will help the GICHD operate in accordance with the latest human resources practices. An annual staff engagement survey will again be carried out in 2024 to collect insights into employee satisfaction, highlighting areas of strengths but also areas that require attention. By actively seeking feedback from employees, the organisation can better address concerns, boost morale, and create a more positive work environment. Embedding organisational values in daily practices and decision-making processes is another key focus of the 2024 institutional pillar. To achieve this, the GICHD will, in 2024, prioritise the implementation of a values toolkit within its annual performance review and onboarding process. This

GICHD OUTLOOK REPORT 2024

Multilateral processes are informed by evidence and supported by expert advice

6 multilateral processes informed/ supported by the GICHD to develop and implement legal and political commitments 9 APMBC/CCM extension requests reflect the GICHD’s inputs

The GICHD provides substantive inputs and advice whose aim is to lay the foundation for informed discussions and evidence-based decision-making in multilateral processes that guide policies and activities in explosive ordnance risk reduction. In 2024, the Centre will continue to provide substantive contributions to relevant International Humanitarian Law (IHL) Conventions – Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention (APMBC), Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM) and Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons (CCW) – through expert comments to extension requests; participation in meetings of the Conventions and their implementing bodies; and inputs into the development of a CCW Implementation Guide led by the CCW Secretariat. Special emphasis will be placed on maintaining the momentum on EORE and providing technical guidance to mainstream gender and diversity and promote gender equality and inclusion, including as part of the EORE Advisory Group, and the Conventions’ Gender and Diversity Working Group. The Centre will also continue to disseminate knowledge and good practice through

presentations and other public interventions, provide input to official meeting documents, and support to office holders. The GICHD will continue to provide logistical support to the three Conventions, contributing to their smooth and efficient functioning. On conventional weapons and ammunition, the GICHD will identify avenues to support follow-up and implementation of the Global Framework for Through-life Conventional Ammunition Management, expected to be adopted by the 78 th session of the UN General Assembly, and the Explosive Weapons in Populated Areas Political Declaration, adopted in November 2022, whose first follow-up meeting will be hosted by Norway in April 2024. Further substantive contributions will be made in support of processes relating to small arms and light weapons and the Arms Trade Treaty, in line with emerging needs and assistance requests. Finally, as in the past, the Centre will contribute to the yearly meeting of Mine Action National Directors and UN Advisors, which will be jointly hosted and organised with the UN Mine Action Service.

National responses are framed by strategies, regulated by up-to-date standards, and enabled by information management

6 strategies developed with GICHD support and 2 strategies launched Ethiopia, Moldova, Peru, Ukraine, Yemen and TBD; Kosovo and South Sudan 4 strategies implemented with GICHD support Iraq, Sri Lanka, Ukraine, Zimbabwe 9 IMAS, 2 TNMA and 2 T&EPs developed/revised with GICHD support 6 NMAS developed with GICHD support 3 IATGs and 1 ammunition TLM standards, regulations and guidelines developed and revised 3 IM capacity scores improved with GICHD support 4 IMSMA and 1 ammunition inventory management system established with GICHD support Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Serbia, Somalia and Sri Lanka

The GICHD provides upstream support to national authorities and other partners to develop and strengthen nationally owned strategies, standards and information management capabilities which are critical enablers of national responses to explosive ordnance risks. Such upstream work helps national authorities take charge of their own programmes. It is a prerequisite for safe, effective and efficient downstream work. This approach is increasingly relevant in a global context striving towards localised and sustainable responses. Support from the GICHD fosters context-specific, evidence-based, diversity-sensitive and sustainable national responses to explosive ordnance risk reduction. Similar approaches are taken to develop and continuously improve strategies, standards and information management capabilities: (1) guidance is developed and updated based on good practice; (2) assessments identify strengths, weaknesses and make recommendations; (3) methods and tools provide the means to contextualise strategies, localise standards and access information management platforms; and (4) capacity development builds expertise through training and exchange of good practice.

In 2024, the GICHD will provide strategic planning support in Ethiopia, Moldova, Ukraine and Yemen while supporting strategy launches and/or implementation in Iraq, Kosovo, South Sudan, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe. The Centre will support the development of national mine action standards in South-East Asia (via the ASEAN Regional Mine Action Centre), Sri Lanka and Yemen as well as serve as secretariat and member of the International Mine Action Standards (IMAS) Steering Group and of the IMAS Review Board. Regarding the latter, the Centre will act as a focal point for three new/revised chapters, and participate in technical working groups for seven others. The Centre will also continue to support the UN SaferGuard Programme towards updating the International Ammunition Technical Guidelines (IATG). Regarding information management, in 2024 the focus is to equip more national authorities with modern IM tools, know-how, and guidance, which will be achieved with the launch of the Information Management System for Mine Action (IMSMA) Core in Kosovo, Serbia, Somalia and Sri Lanka while in parallel measuring improved IM capacity in at least five national mine action centres.

GICHD OUTLOOK REPORT 2024

Operations are implemented safely, effectively and efficiently

The GICHD remains determined in its commitment to ensuring the safe, effective and efficient implementation of operations, and address the unique challenges presented by each operational context. The Centre’s efforts align with a global trend towards localised and sustainable responses, reinforcing the importance of nationally owned strategies, standards, and IM capabilities. In 2024, the GICHD will aim to enhance through- life ammunition management (TLM) capabilities/ capacities of several countries and other partners, such as in Moldova. Further, the Centre will deliver a francophone regional ‘Train the Trainers’ workshop on EORE and organise two regional events reaching six countries from the Eastern Europe, Caucasus, and Central Asia region, focused on IMSMA Core and the IATG. The Centre will also work to strengthen

quality management training capacities in Lebanon and Yemen. Guidance will be provided to countries exploring the linkages between all reasonable effort and risk management to facilitate better understanding between the two themes. All these efforts are aimed at nurturing context-specific, evidence-based, diversity- sensitive, and sustainable national responses to EORR. In terms of generating knowledge, the Centre will focus its activities on developing and promoting TLM knowledge products, including operational systems and tools for the benefit of countries and other partners. Equally, the GICHD will develop and promote the UN SaferGuard Toolkit and IATG-specific products such as the standardised assessment methodology and the digitalised IATG tool. Finally, the Centre will support states to develop structures as well as design processes and frameworks to help them be better positioned to understand and address legal liability implications.

GICHD OUTLOOK REPORT 2024

Gender and diversity are mainstreamed, and equality and inclusion promoted in explosive ordnance risk reduction

A GDEI-supportive approach to explosive ordnance risk reduction comprises activities aimed at mainstreaming gender and diversity and promoting equality and inclusion, to recognise and integrate the experiences and priorities of individuals and groups affected by explosive ordnance. This approach ensures that explosive ordnance risk reduction programmes are more effective, inclusive, transformative, and sustainable. The GDEI approach contributes to better performance, increased innovation, improved outcomes, and supports the localisation agenda by bringing diverse perspectives, experiences, and expertise to the table. More broadly, it also promotes human rights and social justice – having thereby a transformational impact at societal level.

In 2024, the GICHD will support Cambodia to achieve an established and well-functioning gender and diversity capacity, while in general it will continue to promote capacity enhancement on gender and diversity. In particular, the Centre will focus on two countries or partners, to improve their scores against the set criteria for establishing and maintaining a well- functioning gender and diversity capacity. In parallel, the Centre will continue to provide technical know-how by sharing expert inputs in at least three IMAS/national mine action standards (NMAS) initiatives to ensure that gender and diversity are well integrated in them. Other objectives for 2024 include ensuring the success of the gender focal point (GFP) capacity enhancement programme by striving for the successful completion of assignments by the GFPs. This will be done by mainstreaming diversity and promoting equality and inclusion, and by placing an emphasis on national and local participation in GICHD-organised events. Finally, the Centre will put more focus on local and regional training, in local or regional languages, using local expertise.

1 country supported to establish well-functioning gender and diversity capacity Cambodia 25% representation of women in all GICHD-organised events 50% representation of local or national organisations in all GICHD-organised events 80% representation of people from affected countries in all GICHD events

GICHD OUTLOOK REPORT 2024

The impact of explosive ordnance risk reduction is enhanced through connections with global agendas

Explosive ordnance risk reduction plays an enabling and transformative role for other global agendas and broader approaches in support of humanitarian, development and peace efforts. The GICHD works to enhance the evidence and share knowledge of how EORR contributes to global agendas and broader approaches, as well as to reflect objectives and values endorsed by global agendas and broader approaches in EORR current practices, with the aim to maximise its overall impact. To this end, in 2024, the GICHD will develop a study mapping global agendas which are relevant to EORR and explore how these frameworks can provide strategic and operational guidance for the sector. Furthermore, research will be conducted on how EORR contributes to the Women Peace and Security agenda and the Centre will engage with at least one country to include references to mine action or ammunition management in their national action plan.

The Centre will continue to support its partners to better demonstrate the enabling and transformative role of EORR and the impact of their work across the humanitarian, development, and peace nexus through research, capacity enhancement and policy interventions. Support will also be provided through expert advice around how better to connect EORR and national development frameworks, as well as through raising awareness on the connections between EORR and global agendas and broader approaches, in a gender, diversity and inclusion-sensitive manner. Finally, the GICHD aims to continue engaging and providing expert input in formal and informal global agenda forums/initiatives that shape policy and norms, promote dialogue and cooperation on connections between EORR and global agendas, including through regional and South-South cooperation, and will continue to serve as the EORE Advisory Group Secretariat.

2 countries/partners supported to link EORR with global agendas Ecuador, Peru 6 technical inputs on GDEI provided to countries/partners that help strengthen links between EORR and global agendas that promote gender equality 1 training, 1 e-learning, 3 policy interventions connecting EORR and global agendas and strengthening the practical knowledge on these linkages in a gender, diversity and inclusion-sensitive manner 1 TLM knowledge product that incorporates explicit linkages to global agendas

III. WORKING CLOSER TO CONFLICT

GICHD OUTLOOK REPORT 2024

UKRAINE

Ukraine is one of the countries most affected by explosive ordnance in the world. Since February 2022 contamination has increased significantly across large parts of the country, notably in the east. This is further undermining the lives and livelihoods of people living in Ukraine. The GICHD’s Ukraine country programme, through its 2023–2026 Strategy, is necessarily ambitious, as the Centre assessed that the ever-increasing scale and scope of the explosive ordnance contamination necessitates a significant push to further expand, strengthen, and professionalise existing national capacities. The Ukraine country programme team includes Ukrainian experts. Some members of the team are based in Kyiv and supported by Geneva-based international advisors. Their efforts focus on training and mentoring of national authorities, including relevant stakeholders. In 2024, the GICHD will continue to focus its support on areas prioritised by the Ukrainian government. One such area is land release. As non-technical survey and quality management remain an integral part of the Ukraine Mine Action Programme’s efforts, the GICHD will also develop and deliver ‘Training of Trainers’ initiatives for both thematic areas. This initiative includes cooperating with Ukrainian counterparts to design training courses that are tailored to the Ukrainian context. The Centre will also be focusing on an EORE mapping of key stakeholders while gender, diversity, equality, and inclusion will continue to be at the centre of all GICHD interventions.

Ukraine’s Information Management System for Mine Action (IMSMA) will be further strengthened in 2024 to enable clear data flows and dashboard environments that present up-to-date information and knowledge and make it available for effective decision-making. The GICHD will support Ukraine in the development of its NMAS around the themes of land release, non-technical survey, mechanical demining and a mine action glossary. These efforts will focus on ensuring that the NMAS are tailored to reflect the Ukrainian context and that they are fit for purpose in a rapidly changing environment.

Finally, the GICHD will facilitate and further strengthen working relationships between the national mine action authority and the international community, by organising liaison visits and donor coordination events. Such initiatives will provide opportunities for donors, national and international partners, and operators to take coordinated steps towards supporting Ukraine to address the challenges stemming from explosive ordnance contamination in a co-operative, needs-driven and evidence-based manner. Furthermore, support will be provided to the Government of Ukraine in developing and implementing a national mine action strategy to create a consolidated, and long-term vision of mine action policy.
