The Gichd Tool For Management Of Mechanical Demining Operations, Pehr Lodhammar, Erik De Brun
The Gichd Tool For Management Of Mechanical Demining Operations, Pehr Lodhammar, Erik De Brun
The Journal of Conventional Weapons Destruction
In response to a need for an operational management tool for the mechanical demining community, the Geneva International Centre for Humanitarian Demining developed a system called the Management Tool for Mechanical Demining Operations. This system increases the efficiency of mine-clearance operations by using a database that organizes and creates data reports. GICHD is working to improve the system including the addition of a GPS tool in 2012.
Priority-Setting In Mine Action: Getting More Value For The Investment, Albert Souza Mülli, Ted Paterson
Priority-Setting In Mine Action: Getting More Value For The Investment, Albert Souza Mülli, Ted Paterson
The Journal of Conventional Weapons Destruction
This article presents an overview of the main elements and key challenges involved in implementing sound national prioritization systems in mine-action programs. Since all mine/explosive remnants of war-affected countries are different, the article does not provide a standard blueprint; rather, it introduces the basic principles, components and considerations involved in prioritization. This will be valuable when implementing and designing priority-setting systems that cater to national and local contexts in each mine-/ERW-affected country.

Geneva International Centre For Humanitarian Demining, Cisr Journal
The Journal of Conventional Weapons Destruction
The Geneva International Centre for Humanitarian Demining’s mission is to serve as a leading center of mine-action excellence, and to help States Parties implement the Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer of Anti-personnel Mines and on Their Destruction (also known as the Anti-personnel Mine Ban Convention or APMBC), the Convention on Cluster Munitions and other relevant instruments of humanitarian law. GICHD bridges the gaps between research, lessons learned and practice. It promotes evidence-based policies and develops standards, making mine action faster, cheaper, safer, more effective, sustainable and inclusive.
