GISF - Global Interagency Security Forum
The Global Interagency Security Forum (GISF) is a humanitarian security risk management organisation that aims to keep aid workers safe. Our vision is a world where NGOs have safe and sustainable access to people in need, enabled by robust and relevant security risk management practices. GISF is led by our global network of over 130 members, comprising local, national and international NGOs. Together, we influence good security risk management practice that works for the whole humanitarian sector – improving the security of aid workers and operations for sustainable access to populations in need.
