The Mine Action INTelligence Tool (MINT -- the name is a reference to Business Intelligence) has been introduced to facilitate the reporting process, and allow for analysis and visualisation of mine action data from {{IMSMANG}} and/or other sources. It is a tool and service provided by the GICHD to the wider mine action community.
 
Use cases for MINT include:
* Creating digital dashboards to convey key information to specific audiences
* Tracking indicators and progress
* Creating interactive reports
* Scheduling reports and sending notifications -- for example, send a specific report as a PDF attachment by email every Monday at 08:00 to the operations manager
* Performing ad-hoc data analyses by dragging and dropping fields from predefined data sources
 
More details and a list of all features are available on the [[MINT|main MINT page]].

Business intelligence (BI) is a set of theories, methodologies, architectures, and technologies that transform raw data into meaningful and useful information [1]. While operational systems - such as IMSMANG and many others - are designed and optimised for data entry and updates, a BI system is read-only and designed for analysing and visualising data. The overall objective is to inform the decision making process, thus allow for evidence-based decision making. An important criterion of the underlying data is its quality - meaningful analysis can only be achieved if the input data is accurate, complete, and of known quality.
