GICHD Geneva International Centre for Humanitarian Demining

The Geneva International Centre for Humanitarian Demining (GICHD) is an expert organisation working to reduce the impact of mines, cluster munitions and other explosive hazards, in close partnership with mine action organisations and other human security actors.

We support the ultimate goals of mine action: saving lives, returning land to productive use and promoting development. Based at the Maison de la paix in Geneva, and founded in 1998, the GICHD employs around 55 staff members from over 15 nations. This makes the GICHD a unique and international centre of mine action expertise and knowledge.
