GISF is an independent NGO peer support network established in 2006 to provide a platform for global security focal points to share experiences, knowledge and learning. Since then, our membership has expanded to include development and human rights organizations as well as traditional humanitarian members. Over the past 14 years, GISF has created a centre of excellence that gathers and disseminates good practice in security risk management to improve policy and practice. We collaborate with a range of experts within and beyond the sector to ensure a coordinated approach and maximize gain for the whole sector.
The forum will provide an opportunity for GISF members and prospective members to learn from one another and to engage in deeper discussion and learnings on critical topics facing humanitarian security risk management. This event will also be an opportunity for North American organizations to share input with GISF. While virtual, this event is designed to be interactive.
This event is aimed at the security focal points of not-for-profit organizations that operate in several countries. If you would like to attend, please register your interest here.
