Head of Division Information Management
vor 3 Wochen
GICHD’s 2023-2026 strategy defines its mission as helping to develop and professionalise explosive ordnance risk reduction, promoting innovative, tailored and sustainable solutions. Managing and ultimately reducing risk caused by a hazard implies knowing its likelihood and severity, understanding who and what is vulnerable to it and making sound strategic and operational decisions towards removing the hazard and/or improving resilience to it. Information Management, the practice of turning raw data into useful and usable information for evidence-based decision-making underpins all of this. Quality information (ie: information that is sufficiently accurate, precise and timely) on the geographic extent of hazards and on the prevalence of accidents and the number of associated victims enables us to gauge the level of the risk these hazard pose. When combined with information on humanitarian, development or peace-building efforts the result helps plan and prioritise mine action to maximum impact. A robust information flow from field operations to headquarters allows effective monitoring of and reporting on risk reduction progress.
One of the founding objectives of the GICHD was to provide the mine action community with solid information management systems. Over the years, the GICHD has established itself as a pivotal provider of IM support to mine action. The role of its IM Capacity Enhancement and Technical Development programmes is to ensure that Mine Action actors are enabled to leverage information towards evidence-based operational and strategic decision-making. This is accomplished by ensuring that the sector has an adequate pool of skilled personnel with at its disposal an up-to-date and fit-for-purpose Information Management System (the Information Management System for Mine Action – IMSMA) for compiling, storing and disseminating accurate, timely and relevant information on mine action. This goal has become all the more relevant as principles of Results-Based Management (RBM), which rely on the availability of sound information to build indicators, are being adopted throughout the sector. IMSMA has evolved through the Centre’s 25-year existence to follow technological and methodological trends. The Information Management Division, in charge of this aspect, has also evolved. It has gone from a provider of technical support and training to an advisory service with a more systems-oriented approach that includes organisational processes.
The Head of the GICHD’s Information Management (IM) Division is responsible for maintaining a forward-looking vision for its work and ensuring that the Centre remains at the cutting edge of Information Management developments relevant to explosive ordnance risk reduction sectors. While the bulk of the focus is directed towards external programmes, the role is also responsible for modernizing and improving the way the Centre leverages information management internally.

Job location
About usThe Geneva International Centre for Humanitarian Demining (GICHD) is an international expert organisation based in Switzerland.
The GICHD works to reduce the impact of mines, cluster munitions and other explosive remnants of war, in close partnership with mine action organisations and other human security actors. To do so, the GICHD supports national authorities, international and regional organisations and NGOs in their efforts to improve the relevance, performance and sustainability of mine action. Our advisors visit approximately 50 countries each year and offer remote support, enabling them to tackle explosive hazard contamination safely, effectively and efficiently. By bringing together experts and practitioners, gathering and sharing knowledge, the GICHD acts as a central reference point in mine action. We promote dialogue between mine-affected countries in local languages, fostering regional cooperation. This work is not just an end in itself but also contributes to the broader objective of human security – freedom from fear and freedom from want. This effort is facilitated by the GICHD's location within the Maison de la Paix in Geneva
The Centre's work is made possible by core contributions, project funding and in-kind support from 30 governments and organisations.
