2021 – INSO - Supporting the safety and security of humanitarian non-governmental organizations

FY 2021-22 · 2021-07-30

Summary
March 2021 – The changing nature of conflicts worldwide has resulted in unprecedented humanitarian needs, and poses unique safety and security challenges for humanitarian organisations delivering assistance to vulnerable populations, despite protections enshrined in international humanitarian law. Conflicts worldwide are resulting in countless and often deliberate attacks on medical and humanitarian personnel. More than ever before, frontline humanitarian workers and non-governmental organizations require free and up to date information, analysis and advice that supports informed decision making and enables humanitarian access, helping them serve populations most in need. With GAC’s support, INSO works to support humanitarian organizations in fulfilling their mandates safely by providing timely information and assistance in mitigating security risks. Project activities include: (1) providing daily reporting including incident reports, analytical reports and thematic reports; (2) facilitating coordination meetings on access, safety and security amongst humanitarian organizations; (3) providing expert advice on risk mitigation at all stages of clients’ program cycle; and (4) provision of capacity building and crisis response to humanitarian organizations, including reviews of partner security plans and policies, free training courses in security management and conflict analysis.

Description (French)
Avec le soutien d’AMC, ce projet vise à aider les organisations humanitaires à remplir leur mandat en toute sécurité en leur fournissant de l’information et une assistance en temps utile pour atténuer les risques. Les activités du projet comprennent les suivantes : 1) l’établissement de rapports quotidiens, y compris des rapports d’incident, des rapports analytiques et des rapports thématiques; 2) la facilitation des réunions de coordination sur l’accès et la sécurité des organisations humanitaires; 3) la fourniture de conseils spécialisés sur l’atténuation des risques à tous les stades du cycle de programmation des clients; 4) le renforcement des capacités et l’intervention en cas de crise des organisations humanitaires, y compris l’examen des plans et politiques de sécurité des partenaires et des cours de formation gratuits sur la gestion de la sécurité et l’analyse des conflits.
Expected Results
The expected outcomes for this project are that non-governmental humanitarian organisations in the countries in which INSO works have access to timely, reliable and high-quality security related information that help them plan, operate and deliver aid more safely, and greater effectiveness of humanitarian action through improved protection of relief personnel, ensuring that communities affected by humanitarian crisis can access assistance safely and with dignity. The ultimate outcome for this project is lives saved, suffering alleviated and human dignity maintained in countries experiencing humanitarian crises or acute food insecurity.
Expected Results (French)
Les résultats attendus de ce projet sont que les organisations humanitaires dans les pays ou INSO travaille aient accès à des services de sécurité rapides, fiables et de haute qualité qui les aident à planifier, à mettre en œuvre et à fournir l’aide de manière plus sûre, et que l’action humanitaire soit plus efficace grâce à une meilleure protection du personnel de secours, ce qui permet aux collectivités touchées par une crise humanitaire d’accéder à l’aide en toute sécurité et dans la dignité. Le résultat final de ce projet est de sauver des vies, d'atténuer les souffrances et de préserver la dignité humaine dans les pays qui connaissent des crises humanitaires ou une insécurité alimentaire aiguë.
