GISF x ICoCA Webinar (French) – Private Security Contracting in the Humanitarian Sector: Time to Take Responsibility

Last year, GISF published Module 14 of GISF’s Security To Go Risk Management Toolkit, Contracting Private Security Providers, in collaboration with ICoCA. So what impact has the toolkit had and why do humanitarian NGOs’ contracting of private security providers continue to raise crucial questions for the sector?

ICoCA, in collaboration with GISF, conducted research to better understand NGOs practices, procedures and policies vis-à-vis private security. Findings from this research were synthesised in a report and released and presented during the event.

Speakers:
Lisa Reilly, Executive Director, GISF
Chris Galvin, Head of Communications & Outreach, ICoCA
Juliette Jourde, Research & Outreach Assistant, ICoCA/GISF
Elodie Leroy-Le Moigne, Plan International, Global Security Advisor
Fodeba Diallo, Croix Rouge Côte d’Ivoire, Safety and Security Officer
John Davies, Director and Country Manager (South Sudan), Archer
