Welcome to the Landmine Impact Survey Explorer !

This product offers the mine action community the ability to perform interactive searches of the Landmine Impact Survey (LIS) database of countries with completed surveys. This data is widely accepted as the most authoritative assessment of the socioeconomic impact of landmines.

The LIS Explorer supports SAC's role as the coordination body for Landmine Impact Surveys. Landmine Impact Surveys provide vital information to improve priority setting by donors and mine action agencies in the international effort to eliminate or control the threat of mines by the year 2010.

LIS data is stored in the international standardized Information Management System for Mine Action (IMSMA). The LIS Explorer helps the public view this data in a convenient and user-friendly manner.

Currently the LIS Explorer includes the LIS databases of the following twelve countries:

• Afghanistan
• Angola
• Azerbaijan
• Bosnia and Herzegovina
• Chad
• Eritrea
• Ethiopia
• Mauritania
• Somalia (Phase 1,2,3)
• Sudan
• Thailand
• Yemen
• Additional countries will be added as the data becomes available.

This LIS Explorer was designed and developed by the Survey Action Center (SAC), ThinkGeo (formerly Spatially Aware), and Vision Technology. The software has been developed using Microsoft ASP.NET technology. The project has been funded by the U.S. Department of State and the Canadian International Development Agency.
