Overview | Computerised Information Management designed for Mine Action

IMSMANG Demo

The Information Management System for Mine Action (IMSMA) was developed to help make mine action safer, faster, more effective and efficient. There were calls from the mine action community for computerised decision support tools able to support the coordination and management of their operational activities. IMSMA is currently in use in more than 80 % of mine action programmes around the world and is the United Nations preferred information management system for mine action.

Based on requirements submitted by users, the system has been continuously revised and upgraded since its initial release in the summer of 1999, in Kosovo, and has become a standard in mine action information management.

IMSMA can be used to

• plan, manage, report and map the results of survey and field data collection
• report on and map mine, UXO and other ERW threats
• record, report on, and map clearance activities

IMSMA provides tools

• to help managers track the progress of their work
• to analyse and support decisions for prioritisation and more

IMSMA is

• based on standard computer technology
• easily customisable
• distributed free of charge

The System is intended for use by national headquarters and operators in countries affected by mines, UXO or other ERW. Current users of the System include national governments, international organisations, NGO’s and peacekeeping forces.
