IMAS Outreach Workshop for the Libyan Mine Action Program

The International Mine Action Standards (IMAS) provide guidance, establish principles and, in some cases, define international requirements and specifications for the mine action sector. They are designed to improve safety, efficiency and quality in mine action, and to promote a common and consistent approach to the conduct of mine action operations. The IMAS are the main guide for the development of National Mine Action Standards (NMAS), Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and training material in mine action. IMAS follow the format of the International Organization for Standards (ISO) and draw on the three main treaties in international law which deal with landmines, ERW and cluster munitions.

For years, the GICHD has been supporting the Libyan Mine Action Program and the Libyan Mine Action Centre (LibMAC) through various trainings and on-the-job support. Building on previous collaboration, the GICHD will conduct a three-day training course on “International Mine Action Standards (IMAS) and Compliance” targeting the Libyan Mine Action Authority and Implementing Partners from International and national mine action organisations operating in Libya.

The training will take place in Tunis from 4th to 6th November 2019 and aims to strengthen the understanding of IMAS requirements and the nexus between various management systems such as risk management, quality management and information management. These are key areas to improve safety, efficiency and quality in mine action programmes. The training will also offer an overview of operational areas covered by new IMAS including working in urban environments with new threats.
