| Description | Ahead of next week’s Conference on the Protection of Humanitarian Aid Workers, there will be day of online presentations showcasing current initiatives that advance the protection of aid workers. Our Executive Director, Jon Novakovic, will be sharing our project ‘Developing an NGO-Owned Mutual Insurance Mechanism’ at 14:00 CESTon 7 October. Session Details: Developing an NGO-Owned Mutual Insurance Mechanism A platform enabling NGOs to collectively own and govern their own insurer, sharing risk more effectively between donors and implementing organisations, and between international and national NGOs. GISF is leading the development of an innovative, NGO-owned insurance platform designed to address growing challenges in accessing commercial insurance. The mechanism would allow humanitarian organizations to pool and share risks while strengthening duty-of-care provisions for staff operating in high-risk environments. As a not-for-profit initiative, it could also invest in collective loss-prevention and risk-mitigation measures. The long-term goal is to extend affordable and sustainable protection to national and local organizations that face significant frontline risks but often lack adequate coverage.
