NMAS Development Course for Armenia
The GICHD is organizing the NMAS Development course for Armenia in partnership with the UNDP.
This training course is a five-day intensive in-person course, with a focus on understanding the relationship between IMAS and National Mine Action Standards (NMAS) and the key overarching principles of all reasonable effort, risk management, liability, quality management and information management. These are key areas to improve safety, efficiency and quality, thereby ensuring confidence in mine action outputs.
The course is aimed at mine action officials and practitioners from Armenia, and other representatives as specifically selected by the Geneva Centre for Humanitarian Demining (GICHD) who are involved in the development of NMAS.
