During June 2017 (5th till 16th of June 2017), one of the LMAC staff attended a training course on Mine Action Information Management Qualification (MIQ) at Administrator Level 1 in Switzerland supported by the Swiss Federal Department of Defence, Civil Protection and Sport (DDPS). The training was based on IMSMA NG6.

This training helped trainees in acquiring the knowledge on IM principles and concepts, understanding the importance of identifying information requirements prior to designing Data Entry forms and gaining awareness of the need to communicate and coordinate with strategic and operational personnel within their respective organisations. On a technical level, this training helped to learn how to install, use and administer IMSMA NG6 and to customize IMSMA according to the programme needs and in coordination with operations and Programme management.
