{{IMSMANG}} provides the ability to track information about Organisations participating in Mine Action. Organisations can be categorised by type and assigned “work areas” based on the country structure. To display Organisations on the map, they must have geospatial data (minimum one set of coordinates).
{{IMSMANG}} also supports the tracking of competencies and accreditations for each organisation.
{{IMSMANG}} offers the option to track information about specific places or infrastructure elements within a country that are relevant to Mine Action. These can be ammunition storages, armouries, airports, community centres, hospitals, refugee camps or any other structures/buildings which designate a political, economic, social, and/or logistical value.
