How we work
We drive positive change in humanitarian security risk management through original research, collaboration and events. As an NGO-led forum, our work reflects the needs of over 140 member organisations. For us, 'humanitarian' describes not-for-profit activities that seek to improve lives and reduce suffering.
... and why
As an independent, NGO-led network for global security focal points, our aim is to have a positive impact on humanitarian security risk management (SRM) to keep aid workers safe and achieve sustainable access to populations in need. GISF reflects the needs of our members, SRM professionals, and the broader aid sector.
