The GICHD has published a new strategy for 2012-2014, following extensive consultation with partners. It focuses on two strategic objectives: global clarity on explosive hazards and high-performing national authorities and national ownership. The first of these is centred on accelerating progress towards a complete and accurate understanding of the extent of the explosive hazards problem, and of the impact on countries, communities and people. To achieve this, the GICHD supports partner countries in adopting effective survey and reporting methods, implementing sound information management practices and documenting the impact of both explosives contamination and mine action.
High performing national authorities and national ownership are the objective of the second strategic objective. Achieving results and documenting success requires a clear understanding of both costs and benefits, both planned and delivered. GICHD activities enhance the capacities of partner countries in designing and implementing programme-based resource allocation systems to improve performance, based on decision-support and quality management solutions at operational and strategic levels.
GICHD activities in support of these two objectives are undertaken through several programmes which support national mine action authorities in their strategic management, operations, and information management efforts, along with support to standards (IMAS) and to international law, and including extensive outreach activities.
