The one-year project officially commenced on October 1, 2020 and will focus on establishing improved coordination channels between the Iraqi Directorate of NGOs (DNGO), Directorate of Mine Action (DMA) and the HMA NGO implementing partners (IPs) in Iraq.\n\nThe primary objective of this project is to ensure IPs receive optimal support from the Iraqi government, and the implementation of HMA activities are coordinated and delivered in a cost-effective manner to protect affected populations from the risk of explosive ordnance (EO) and enable the safe use of the contaminated land again.\n\nThe HMA coordination project will help reinforce the coordination capacity of the DMA, DNGO and HMA IPs through different communication fora, which will ultimately translate into effective use of the limited funding available to the HMA programs. This is especially important at a time when available resources from the donors, the government and other stakeholders are increasingly limited, while the challenges and priorities are on the rise.\n\nIn line with iMMAP’s mission in Iraq, the project further aims to raise the profile of the HMA program within the broader government sphere and promote a better understanding of HMA stakeholders, their capabilities, requirements, accomplishments, and the risks involved in HMA activities. In doing so, the project will support the sector’s advocacy for clearance, risk education, victim assistance, and stockpile destruction activities in Iraq, all of which are in line with Iraq’s obligations under the international mine action-related treaties.”},{“component”:”hc_space”,”id”:”p0g0W”,”css_classes”:””,”custom_css_classes”:””,”custom_css_styles”:””,”size”:”l”,”height”:””},{“component”:”hc_adv_image_box”,”id”:”yl1rl”,”css_classes”:””,”custom_css_classes”:””,”custom_css_styles”:””,”image”:”https://immap.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/12738DBA-3E3B-41FF-A82E-D4D9C023A59B-1024×768.jpg|1536|2048|100021534″,”icon”:””,”title”:””,”box_style”:”half_content”,”image_animation”:””,”hidden_content”:false,”thumb_size”:”large”,”button_text”:””,”button_style”:”circle”,”button_dimensions”:””,”button_animation”:false,”extra_text”:””,”subtitle”:””,”text”:””,”link_type”:”classic”,”lightbox_animation”:””,”caption”:””,”inner_caption”:false,”new_window”:false,”link”:””,”link_content”:[],”lightbox_size”:””,”scrollbox”:false},{“component”:”hc_wp_editor”,”id”:”RDwQQ”,”css_classes”:””,”custom_css_classes”:””,”custom_css_styles”:””,”editor_content”:”

on Mobile Data Collection and Open Street Maps Training\n\nThe OpenStreetMap (OSM) DRC community responded effectively during the Ebola 2018 outbreak by mobilizing OSM contributors to digitize buildings, roads, and rivers, which were then made publicly available through HDX. Methodologies proposed were all-inclusive, based on knowledge exchange and a participatory approach in collaboration with private partners, traditional practitioners, and DPS and BCZ, the health provincial and district central offices, respectively.\n\nIn the field, NGOs, the United Nations, and the ministry staff relied upon the OSM base map, or the OSMAND navigation tool, to identify buildings. 3,134 points, schools, villages, markets, and churches have been integrated into the OSM platform during the OSM training. Furthermore, 3,586 health structures have been cleaned and added to the OSM base. The geographical coverage goes from Bukavu to Bunia via Beni (South Kivu, North Kivu, Ituri).\n\nBuilding upon this success, iMMAP and OSM plan to involve local actors and capture their knowledge to improve the understanding of the area.

This support will continue through the revision of the Humanitarian Response Plan 2020 to incorporate the COVID-19 response.\n\nSupport to the Health Cluster in the COVID-19 response\n\niMMAP supports the Ethiopia Health Cluster’s COVID-19 response by developing a 3W tool (who is doing what, and where) that captures the response activities of 30 partners operating in different locations of the country, allowing to identify gaps and optimize the distribution of protective materials. Moreover, we help enhance coordination through developing an online response monitoring tool that regularly captures the activities carried by health cluster partners, which are analyzed and presented through a weekly COVID-19 bulletin. Additionally, iMMAP produces a weekly COVID-19 dashboard that reports on 18 monitoring indicators developed in collaboration with the Ethiopian Public Health Institute (EPHI), helping to monitor and understand the COVID-19 situation in Ethiopia to tailor the response by aiding the people who need it most.\n\nPRODUCTS

Though possessed with a robust humanitarian mine action (HMA) program in the three northern Kurdish governorates before the Iraq War (2003–2011), the remainder of the country was largely without any HMA focus until the removal of the Ba’ath regime. Iraq’s border with\nIran contains major military minefields and ERW, while small arms and innumerable stockpiles of ammunition remain throughout the country. High levels of landmine, ERW, and IED contamination are a major challenge for the government and HMA responders, and increasingly impair mobility among segments of the civilian population, placing the Iraqi people in an untenable situation. The Iraqi political process remains gridlocked, which negatively impacts the work conducted by Iraqi government institutions, including the Directorate of Mine Action (DMA) in Baghdad.\n\nThe current protracted conflict in Iraq relating to the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has resulted in the displacement of 3.3 million people and a significant increase in contamination. ISIS has employed mines and IEDs in large quantities in both urban and rural areas, targeting security forces, humanitarian aid workers, and HMA operators, making it extremely dangerous for them and also for returnees.\n\nWhile landmine, ERW, and IED contamination is extensive in areas taken back from ISIS, the absence of a coordinated information management system exacerbated the level of risk to both the humanitarian actors and the returnees. Due to the geopolitical situation, the majority of retaken areas fell under the shared responsibility of the two national mine action authorities in Iraq: DMA in Baghdad and the Iraqi Kurdistan Mine Action Agency (IKMAA) in Erbil. This shared responsibility created a Gray Area in which coordination and information management were absent, preventing organized, coordinated, and evidenced-based HMA activities. iMMAP in Iraq supports a comprehensive range of HMA information management and capacity-building services to address ERW and IED contamination during and after complex emergencies. Recognizing the urgent need for an information management center, iMMAP in Iraq took the initiative with direct support from the Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement in the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Political-Military Affairs (PM/WRA) to mediate and establish a memorandum of understanding (MoU) between the two national mine action authorities, DMA and IKMAA, on 14 September 2015. The MoU authorized iMMAP to set up an information management center to manage and coordinate HMA activities within the retaken areas (Gray Area), which fall under the shared responsibility of DMA and IKMAA. This MoU is the first document signed between DMA and IKMAA since 2003.\n\nClick here to see full article“}]}],”section_settings”:””},”scripts”:{“lightbox”:”jquery.magnific-popup.min.js”},”css”:{“lightbox”:”scripts/magnific-popup.css”},”css_page”:””,”template_setting”:{“settings”:{“id”:”settings”}},”template_setting_top”:{},”page_setting”:{“settings”:[“lock-mode-on”]},”post_type_setting”:{“settings”:{“image”:”http://immap.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Isam-1024×705.png|1030|1496|100004227″,”excerpt”:””,”extra_1″:””,”extra_2″:””,”icon”:{“icon”:””,”icon_style”:””,”icon_image”:””}}}}
