DDAS records since 2011 (incomplete)

The following links take you to a few of the records I have gathered since 2011. In 2011, UNMAS instructed Mine Action Centres not to send data for inclusion in the DDAS, telling them to use the GICHD RAPID database instead. I stopped gathering data at that time, but I still add records when asked because RAPID is a tick-box summary that does not include useful detail and some professionals want the details made available. GICHD has taken the data in this database and reduced each entry to a RAPID tick-box spreadsheet summary of a few words. They do the same with any new entries I make, and this makes me reluctant to add all the records I receive to the on-line record. It is understandably frustrating to see a useful record reduced to a featureless (and frequently inaccurate) statistic. But all detailed records I receive are added to the searchable DDAS software that I use to answer questions.

This page will be occasionally updated because l add any record that I am asked to make widely available. Accident records that are dated are still valuable - I added many old records during the last general update - so if you have old records, please send them to me.
