Why Explosive Ordnance is a Risk
The GICHD works to reduce risks that communities face from explosive ordnance – a term that describes ammunition and weapons containing explosives. Our work focuses on landmines, cluster munitions and explosive remnants of war, as well as conventional ammunition.

The Centre generates analyses, concepts, methods, and tools to reduce risks from explosive ordnance. We share this knowledge with national authorities, operators and other partners through publications, expert advice, and trainings to promote safe, efficient and effective explosive ordnance risk reduction.
