Since 2015, SIPRI in cooperation with the Geneva International Centre for Humanitarian Demining (GICHD has published an annual publication that provides analysis and incident mapping of anti-vehicle mines (AVMs). This research draws on data from states and mine action organizations and is complemented by media reviews. The incident and casualty data is displayed in an interactive map. The study is recognized as a source of evidence of the humanitarian impact of the AVMs.

In 2019, SIPRI and GICHD will conduct an in-depth study on the social and economic developmental consequences of AVMs, which will contribute to improved evidence of the developmental impact of these weapons.
