Ammunition Safety Management (ASM)

Abandoned or unmanaged ammunition resulting from conflict or through lack of technical knowledge presents significant hazards to civilian populations.

The GICHD ASM project adopts a risk-based approach that enables communities to achieve ammunition safety in compliance with the International Ammunition Technical Guidelines (IATG). It is a self-help modular toolset that adapts to various circumstances. It assists in hazard reduction and capacity development in the affected communities.
