Increasing insecurity around the world makes it ever more difficult for managers of humanitarian and development programmes to balance urgent lifesaving operations against the attendant risks to staff. This workshop, presented in partnership with the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), seeks to address this concern by presenting the tools of good security risk management and applying them in practical and realistic settings

Targeted

Field experience in insecure areas will be an asset, but is not a specific requirement of the workshop; however, applicants should be in a position that requires them to manage security risks in their daily functions. Qualified women candidates are encouraged to apply.
Approximately 32 participants per workshop session.
