Following an intensive period of development the GICHD is proud to launch a new version of its Information Management System for Mine Action (IMSMA NG6).
This new version is the first since the release of IMSMA NG5 in 2005. It responds to a wide range of feedback from the mine action community and incorporates significant technical upgrades to its core system as well as adaptions to the latest Land Release IMAS. Highlights include updated terminology, vastly extended functionality for Victim Assistance, online interactive manuals (IMSMA Wiki), a simplified reporting approach, and a web-based indicator monitoring tool (the Mine Action INTelligence Tool – MINT). Although there are significant technical differences between IMSMA NG5 and NG6, the user interface will remain familiar. The launch of IMSMA NG6 also marks the beginning of a new cycle of less frequent but more robust software updates.
The GICHD aims to continuously improve Information Management for Mine Action. It helps organisations develop and implement an appropriate system of tools, processes and capacities that enable Mine Action actors to effectively leverage information towards more efficient strategic and operational decision-making.
