Conflict Zone Threat Assessment for NGOs

Online CPD Approved Personal Security Training

Course Introduction

Attacks against Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and other Agencies in high-risk conflict zones have increased exponentially over the last two decades. NGOs increasingly work in the field, providing humanitarian relief and development assistance in countries around the world. As they carry out their work, they face many serious problems. Governments or rebel groups deny them access to those in need, corrupt officials or warlords demand payoffs, and local violence threatens the safety and even the lives of field personnel. Every NGO should instruct their key staff in the means of conducting Threat Assessments.
